- We will add a new `datasette.json`/`datasette.yaml` configuration file to datasette, which combines settings/plugin config/permissions/canned queries into a new file format
- Metadata will NOT be a part of this file
- TOML support is not planned, but maybe we can create a separate issue for support TOML with JSON/YAML
- The `settings.json` file will be deprecated, and the `--config` arg will be brought back.
- Command line arguments can still be used to overwrite values (ex `--setting` will overwrite settings in `datasette.yaml`

The format of `datasette.json` will follow what Simon listed here: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2143#issuecomment-1684484426

Here's the current implementation plan:

1. Add a new `--config` flag and port over `""settings""` into a new datasette.json config file, remove settings.json
2. Add top-level plugin config support to `datasette.json`
3. Figure out database/table structure of config `datasette.json`
4. Port over database/table level plugin config support `datasette.json`
5. Port over permissions/auth settings to `datasette.json`
6. Deprecate non-metadata values in `metadata.json`","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1781530343,
