Subject: [PATCH] Add a WT_SETTINGS_DIR env variable that portable profiles can
 use (#16949)

Basically, title.

It'd be a neat idea for portable installs of the Terminal to reference
files that are right there in the portable install.

This PR adds a `WT_SETTINGS_DIR` var to Terminal's own env block. This
allows us to resolve profiles relative to our own settings folder.

Closes #16295
