Support for embedded .emscripten config (#9547)

emsdk has always had partial support for this.  With this change all
emscripten users can take advantage of embedded config.  This allows
different emscripten installations to have different configuration files
since they don't need to share a single config file in the user's home
directory.

As a followup and plan to make this location the default when generating
a new sample config file.

See #9543
