I've added a ToolType "USERSDIR" which will be in the next CI build.

Note to self:
Adding a command line argument will be trickier as we can only call ReadArgs() once, and this currently happens after the user options are read (ie. too late). It implements some witchcraft to pass args to the core which can only be done at this time.
The function will need splitting out so it parses ReadArgs early but keeps NSOPTS/M alive until the core argument parsing can be done.

Note from xenic:
Don't knock yourself out getting a command line arg to work. I do run Netsurf from a toolbar (command line) but I can just 'wbrun' it so it gets the 'USERDIR' tooltype from the icon.

The issue is more that it needs to be easy to run with debug output no matter where the user dirs are stored. So, either log capture needs to be added to WB execution, or a users dir option needs to be added to arguments.
