You can't edit the config.json in-place in Riot on Electron on some platforms (e.g. macOS) as it breaks the package signature.
Instead, we should support looking at ~/.riot/config.json or equivalent to let users override the default config.json (e.g. to provide a custom installation script which grabs Riot and then applies the custom config.json to set up the correct default HS etc).

actually this is p1 to support folks who want custom desktop apps. @t3chguy do you think you'll have a chance to look at it? otherwise we'll put it on the team proj board.
I will have this in a PR tomorrow
