Win32 - search for .INI in program path first

Description
The WINDOWS/WINNT directory is generally rather cluttered. The attached patch allows placing 'scummvm.ini' in the current working directory (this will generally be the same location as scummvm.exe, sdl.dll, etc.); if the file is not found there, it will default to the Windows directory as it usually does.
With several minor changes [use GetModuleFileName (NULL,...) instead of GetCurrentDirectory(...) and strip off the filename], this could be made to check the .EXE directory instead of the current directory, making it even more portable.
Ticket imported from: #795066. Ticket imported from: patches/380.

I'm against the change, it is better to keep the ScummVM config file in a central location and allowing multiple locations for the ScummVM config file could confuse users.

This patch is outdated, and won't apply anymore. Although, it's not really the proper solution to the problem. Though we might be able to reuse parts of it for the "real thing" :-)

Altered patch, now searches in the same directory in which the EXE resides
