Mirroring #1811, add support to set default settings for Linux, via MDM tooling. For this platform we look for files in the `/etc/git-credential-manager/config.d` directory. Files are a simple format of `key=value\n`, where the `key` is a configuration value name from `docs/config.md`. This format prevents values from containing a `\n` line feed character, but this is unlikely to be an issue in practice.

Similar to the functionality to set default settings for GCM via the Registry on Windows, we implement support on macOS using the Apple preferences system. Preferences can be deployed as payloads via MDM configuration profiles.
The domain for GCM is
git-credential-managerand configuration settings should take the form of a dictionary under theconfigurationkey.
