Adapt to "QGIS4" directory in QGIS 4 #101

Description

@kannes

Following qgis/QGIS#64752, the plugin will need some non-trivial updating to support both QGIS3 and QGIS4 profiles 😢

Since the QGIS 3- > QGIS 4 -> QGIS 3 round trip corrupts the QGIS settings ini, we need to silo away the QGIS 4 settings in order to avoid user profile corruption.

We do this now by a one-time copy of the loaded user profile from the QGIS3 path to a new QGIS4 path on startup. This is a lossless settings migration, with all user settings maintained. Note that it is ONE TIME ONLY, and after that initial migration any changes made to the profile in QGIS 4 won't be reflected in QGIS 3 and vice versa.
