Global vlcrc file - to predefine options in mass deployment

VLC currently lacks feature that would allow predefining or locking settings when deploying it on a large scale (enterprise, university etc.)

It could be possibly solved by enhancing VLC with an ability to read a central vlcrc file at startup (on Windows: preferably stored in application directory - standard user accounts would have no edit rights).

If implemented, it would be also an important feature to let admin define whether the predefined setting is:

• "default" (eg. user can override it with his own vlcrc file), OR
• "locked" (eg. it takes precedence over user settings, possibly also enhanced by user preferences graying/disabling related controls)

This second feature could be realized ie. with "lock-" prefix for locked preferences.
