Add application settings file: settings.json

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In settings file we could have options for customizing application's window, 
some of the options might allow setting:
 * default window size
 * minimum/maximum window size when resizing
 * disable maximize button
 * center the window on the screen

Minimum & maximum window size is set in MainFrame::OnGetMinMaxInfo().

Maximize box can be disabled with this code:

    mainFrame.SetWindowLongW(GWL_STYLE, mainFrame.GetWindowLongW(GWL_STYLE) & ~WS_MAXIMIZEBOX);

Window is centered by default, allow for customization when that is
not an expected behavior, the code responsible for centering the window:

    mainFrame.CenterWindow();

An example settings.json file would look like:

{
    "application": {
        "single_instance": false
    },
    "main_window": {
        "title": "PHP Desktop",
        "icon": "",
        "default_size": [1024, 768],
        "minimum_size": [800, 600],
        "maximum_size": [],
        "disable_maximize_button": false,
        "center_on_screen": true
    },
    "web_server": {
        "listen_on": ["127.0.0.1", 54007],
        "www_dir": "www",
        "php_cgi": "php\\php-cgi.exe"
    },
    "msie": {
        "on_navigation_error": {
            "redirect_to": "",
            "display_html": ""
        }
    },
    "chrome": {
        "f12_developer_tools": true
    }
}
