I agree with all your points!

I think the best solution would be having a datasette.json config file, where you "configure" your datasette instances, with settings, permissions/auth, plugin configuration, and table settings (sortable column, label columns, etc.). Which #2093 would do.

Then optionally, you have a metadata.json, or use datasette_metadata, or some other plugin to define metadata (ex the future sqlite-docs plugin).

Everything in datasette.json could also be overwritten by CLI flags, like --setting key value, --plugin xxxx key value.

We could even completely remove settings.json in favor or just datasette.json. Mostly because I think the less files the better, especially if they have generic names like settings.json or config.json.
