Updated `config.py` more platform independent (Win32)
Issues to discuss:
Use of platformdirs
platformdirs makes some decisions that differ from those in the config.py.
https://platformdirs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Use of sysconfig
sysconfig can be used to identify the site-packages (or equivalent).
The use of MAIN_PATH = Path(sysconfig.get_path('purelib')) may be more reliable;
than, searching based on knowing the location of __file__.
Using python Paths rather than strings
The place where this is most likely is config.py.
Are there other source files that should be considered?
we need to extensive test this. In general we want to host all user configurations in the YAML file.

Yes indeed.
I see FTSConfig.yaml as used in development.
I see in FTS Docs the two files described being edited to configure FTS are <site-packages>/FreeTAKServer-UI/config.py and <site-packages>/FreeTAKServer/controllers/configuration/MainConfig.py.
Those files are:
- https://github.com/FreeTAKTeam/FreeTAKServer-User-Docs/docs/docs/FreeTAKHub/WebMap/Installation.md
- https://github.com/FreeTAKTeam/FreeTAKServer-User-Docs/docs/docs/Installation/Android/installUIOnAndroid.md
- https://github.com/FreeTAKTeam/FreeTAKServer-User-Docs/docs/docs/Installation/Windows/FreeTAKServer_Windows_Install_Tutorial.md
- https://github.com/FreeTAKTeam/FreeTAKServer-User-Docs/docs/docs/Installation/RaspberryPie/Installation.md
- https://github.com/FreeTAKTeam/FreeTAKServer-User-Docs/docs/docs/Installation/Linux/Installation.md
- https://github.com/FreeTAKTeam/FreeTAKServer-User-Docs/docs/docs/Installation/Cloud/AWS.md
Is it appropriate for these documents to recommend modifying config.py?
