Add weather file and other command line options as input objects so that command line can be just the IDF or epJSON file #10789

This "issue" is a new feature request, not a defect report
Issue overview
To allow for an IDF or epJSON file to be double-clicked to run a simulation, several command line options need to be made input objects. This would not eliminate the current command line options but simply create an alternative where all the current uniquely command line functionality of EnergyPlus could also be put in the IDF or epJSON file directly. This would include:
This would help users by running simulations easier on any platform as well as simplify some automated parametric analysis since all parameters would be located in the input file.

In addition, to achieve the "double-click" feature, the file association for the IDF and epJSON would need to be changed to the energyplus.exe with a right-click (or equivalent) option to edit with IDF Editor or run via EP-Launch or update via IDFVersionUpdater
