settingsmeta.json

[JarbasAl]

we have a settingsmeta.json specification around from the old mycroft Selene backend days

this specifies what settings fields to render for each skill, optionally with text to explain them. This also had the benefit of allowing skill devs to have setting fields they dont want users to see but that the skills can use.

example: https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-skill-weather/blob/dev/settingsmeta.json

Special note: lists in settingsmeta are used to populate drop-down options, so we can limit the values for some text fields, there is no list/dict construct that can be edited in the UI, only int/bool/string are supported

We also have utils to generate this automatically from existing settings.json , I can make ovos-workshop populate this file together with settings.json in the XDG path to make it easier to adopt
