Describe what you'd like to be able to do

Currently, PowerTools configs are tied to the GameId of the game since AppId of non-steam games used to always be 0. I've heard that has been fixed so all games have an AppId now.

AppId is easier to find for Steam Games since it's the ID used in the store. It also might be more deterministic than GameId, but I'm not sure how those are generated.

This change would break all existing configs, so it would be best to do it along with any other upcoming breaking changes cough docked and undocked profiles cough

Describe alternatives you've considered

Keep using GameIds. Nothing wrong with this, it's just a bit less user-friendly.

Anything else?

That would be great. I use powertools mostly for emus and that would be helpful.

@not_a_segfault this might be good to consider integrating into your migration logic. I can handle changing the actual id passed through from the frontend (I can make it send both numbers for migration purposes too).
