Configuration system
I started a rewrite on the configuration system to include the new UI (PR pending), and to make the article more accessible.
Comments welcome.
PS: Is the method using configure still important? It looks overly complicated with no real value to me, so I'm tempted to drop it from the documentation.
My general comments is that everything is shallowly explained.
Yes, I only made the new introduction sections so far and haven't touched the detailed sections below. The introduction can be thinned out of details once I got the other sections, but I at least want to touch the important data points up-front to. That way someone who only reads the overview has enough of an idea to work with the system and do "the 90%" when they start with the MDK.
"the 90%": 90% of the mods and 90% of the config settings of the other 10% will have the form of a couple of bools and ints with maybe one or two sections for organisation. In my opinion, everything you need to do this correctly should be a 5-minute read and the MDK as a starting point. The rest of the documentation page should then cover all the "Can I do X?" and "How do I do Y?" questions but not be a requirement for the typical "feature_A_enabled = false" configs.
Note that I have mostly answered questions and explained why I did certain things, but I have not commented which suggestions I will incorporate. So don't take a lack of that as rejection.
