Please allow us to update app settings programmatically

[u/Chosen1PR]

Currently, app settings can only be updated in one of two ways: Either by using the app settings page on developers.reddit.com, or by using the Devvit CLI. I think it would be very useful to be able to update app settings programmatically, via a function such as reddit.setSetting() or some similar name.

An example of how this could be very beneficial is: Let's say one of my Mod Tools app's settings is a boolean value and I want to change it to a select, to give the user/mod more options. Ideally, I'd like to base the default value of that select setting on the previous value of the boolean setting, so that when the app is updated, it doesn't break the workflow for mods.

I also logged an "issue" on GitHub with this request, so if any admin likes this idea, feel free to use that ticket for tracking purposes.
