[Feature request] Portable mode for Windows

[macronimus]

Hi,
A feature request. Make it work in total portable mode on Windows. Have all executables and configurations in a single folder and/or subfolders.
I want to run this from a portable USB drive.

Regards

Resticity itself depends on restic and rclone, so it might work. However, I don't know how restic and rclone themselves behave in that manner, and whether their portable version works in that case.

There is a restic Windows executable avaialble. I think it can be run with CLI. Same for rclone. So I think it should be possible. "All " that would need to be done is have any configuration file Resticity need in a file relative next to resticity.exe. And simplest would be to search (by default) for rclone.exe and restic.exe in same place.

Example:
C:\Backup
+-- repository/
+-- resticity.config
+-- resticity.exe
+-- rclone.exe
+-- restic.exe

Resticity would detect that repos are in subfolder of executable and store it as a relative path. When changing computer/drive/folder it would not change where it would search for repo.
