The attached patch adds support for config_system.py files stored outside of the application installation directory to allow sysadmins (and users with appropriate permissions) to override configuration options system wide and without invalidating signatures such as those found on the macOS app bundle.

Configuration will be loaded from the following locations, if present:

Linux: /etc/pgadmin/config_system.py
macOS: /Library/Preferences/pgadmin/config_system.py
Windows: %CommonProgramFiles%\pgadmin\config_system.py

Please review/commit.
How about putting them in $HOME/.pgadmin/config_local.py (applicable only for runtime)?

Because then they wouldn't be system-wide.
