Don't attempt to save and load the global config in `loadLanguage` unless it exists. Prevents `loadLanguage`, which is called very early, from creating the global config before `setSteamPaths` has a chance to define some paths that are needed to create the global config. Most notably, this fixes Luxtorpeda and Roberta variables from being incorrect when created too early by `loadLanguage`, as this function creates the global config before `setSteamPaths` has a chance to define `STEAMCOMPATOOLS` which is needed in order to build a valid path for `LUXTORPEDACMD` and `ROBERTACMD`.

Fix #1177.
Don't attempt to save and load the global config in
loadLanguageunless it exists.Prevents
loadLanguage, which is called very early, from creating the global config beforesetSteamPathshas a chance to define some paths that are needed to create the global config.Most notably, this fixes Luxtorpeda and Roberta variables from being incorrect when created too early by
loadLanguage, as this function creates the global config beforesetSteamPathshas a chance to defineSTEAMCOMPATOOLSwhich is needed in order to build a valid path forLUXTORPEDACMDandROBERTACMD. SteamTinkerLaunch tries to auto-detect Luxtorpeda installations and this has not worked for probably the last 2 years or so, sinceloadLanguagecreated the global config too soon. However, Luxtorpeda could always be and still can be manually selected by the user, so the only breakage was for the auto-detection.This may possibly fix other similar cases as well, where Steam paths are needed in the global config but it is created before paths exist.
This fix will not retroactively apply to global configs, as we don't know whether the variables are incorrectly generated by us or the user. Bad global configs will need re-generated.
This PR needs some testing to ensure the
-f "$STLDEFGLOBALCFG"check is safe. I think it is, but this will need a bit of further testing.
