Bug Description

Data path can now be changed via GUI. It could be useful if the data path could be set via a command line switch. This would allow different shortcuts to run openlp with different data sets. Could also be useful for testing environments.

e.g.
$ openlp -dp "D:\worship\openlp data"
$ openlp --data-path "D:\worship\openlp data"

"-" options should really only be single character. Will probably be best just to implement the long form.

Yes, the standard form of command line arguments (and the one that the argument parser that OpenLP uses) is a single letter for the short form, and words-separated-by-dashes for the long form.

I think we should also consider allowing the settings path to be changed on the command line. On Windows this would then use the ini file instead of the registry, like the portable version does but without the restriction as to where the ini file is located.

 C:\> openlp --settings-file "D:\worship\openlp\settings.ini"
