[Feature][Steam Client] Global launch options
In settings of each game there's a box of launch options for that specific game a user can set to launch that specific game with some extra parameters or other extensions.

I propose to have a global launch option section in the general settings, allowing users to set a default launch string for all games. This will be applied when a game has no launch options (default). This option will be empty by default (just launch).

This feature is located on Steam (top menu) -> Settings -> Compatibility
This feature is in the same compatibility menu for Big Picture and Steam OS.

Who is this useful for:
- People with steam decks wanting to use gamemoderun, mangohud, gamescope... for all games by default
- People with weird CPU's (R9 7950X3D as an example) running linux and requiring to set specific CPU topology to benefit from V-Cache, instruction prediction and other hardware benefits in games
- People needing to set other environment variables or wine configurations for all games by default
- Other user reasons below ( Help me fellow gamers ;) )
- Launching debugging tools by default for Valve folks. (?)

Uhjm. That can't really work since the launch strings are kinda specific to the games themselves or at the very least the game engines

Specific game launch options always rule over what is put there, like the default proton package vs game specific proton package. If you need specific params for one specific game, you can still configure at the specific game settings but the global parameters have to be copied manually. It's not ideal, but it's the best compatibility wise.

Couldn't you start Steam with whatever wrapper program or environment variable if you just wanted everything on Steam to use that?
