Summary
Adds the ability to change the client-side file cache location from the Advanced Settings menu.
Two new buttons were introduced: Change, which allows the user to select a custom cache directory via a file explorer dialog, and Reset, which restores the default behavior.
By default, the client continues to use the cache path stored in the Windows Registry. If a custom cache path is defined in
coreconfig.xml, it takes precedence. If the custom directory becomes unavailable or is deleted, the system automatically falls back to the default path.Closes #4655
Motivation
Currently, the cache path is only displayed in the UI and cannot be modified from within the client.
Changing it requires manually editing the Windows Registry.
This change makes cache path configuration accessible from the UI while keeping backward compatibility and safe fallback behavior.
