Integrate wineprefixes/bottles into the wine gui utilities

wineprefixes/bottles are a very powerful way of keeping one's
configuration/prefixes clean.

This is especially true if one needs dll overrides for certain applications,
which could easily interfere with each other.

Further, adding dll overrides to a prefix invalidates submission of bug reports
for that prefix, so it is useful to be able to create different
prefixes/bottles for this reason.

Currently, prefixes can generally be used only from the commandline, or by
creating certain custom .desktop icons/scripts.

It could be useful to integrate the concept of bottles/prefixes into the gui
utilities, for example, for winecfg.

For example, perhaps a dialog could be run prior to launching the main winecfg,
that could work similarly to firefox -ProfileManager, and could allow one to
pick the bottle to work off of, create/delete bottles, and select a default
bottle to use.

In addition, if this is not already done, it could be useful if the .desktops
created for an application installed under a certain prefix automatically run
from that prefix.
