And probably a big regression for a lot of others.

The "tokens" are already currently used at packaging time.

The keypoint is to identify what tools refer to paths from the settings - and
change those to save and retrieve paths relative to
QgsApplication::prefixPath() (similar to QgsProject::readPath/writePath for
project relative paths) and "c:/osgeo4w/apps/saga/saga_cmd" used at runtime
would be turned into "../saga/saga_cmd" in the settings.
