Research direction
Start by comparing the proposed JSON, YAML, and SQLite approaches against Sunshine's configuration needs, including migration from the old format. Define the chosen standard, the migration path, and which old-format support can eventually be removed; the issue names no files or tests to run.

Description
The Sunshine config should be migrated to a standard format like JSON or YAML (or even SQLite) and then the complexities of parsing the custom format can be dropped.
We should consider a migration feature for those on the old format, but eventually should drop support for the old format altogether.
If the SQLite option is chosen, we could actually store much more information in the db such as:
- state info
- paired devices
- certs
- apps
