David Faure 5d3e71b1d2 Security: remove support for $(...) in config keys with [$e] marker. Summary: It is very unclear at this point what a valid use case for this feature would possibly be. The old documentation only mentions $(hostname) as an example, which can be done with $HOSTNAME instead. Note that $(...) is still supported in Exec lines of desktop files, this does not require [$e] anyway (and actually works better without it, otherwise the $ signs need to be doubled to obey kconfig $e escaping rules...). Test Plan: ctest passes; various testcases with $(...) in desktop files, directory files, and config files, no longer execute commands.

KConfig

Persistent platform-independent application settings.

Introduction

KConfig provides an advanced configuration system. It is made of two parts: KConfigCore and KConfigGui.

KConfigCore provides access to the configuration files themselves. It features:

Code generation: describe your configuration in an XML file, and use `kconfig_compiler to generate classes that read and write configuration entries.
Cascading configuration files (global settings overridden by local settings).
Optional shell expansion support (see [docs/options.md](@ref options)).
The ability to lock down configuration options (see [docs/options.md](@ref options)).

KConfigGui provides a way to hook widgets to the configuration so that they are automatically initialized from the configuration and automatically propagate their changes to their respective configuration files.
