Launcher Fails to Save Settings due to Improper Config String

When using the launcher to configure OpenMW-VR, when "Play" is clicked, the Window closes but the configuration files are not saved.

Referencing the log, there is an invalid setting that the launcher is attempting to set.

[22:49:43.094 ] ERROR: [22:49:43.094] Trying to retrieve a non-existing setting: disable display lists for multiview. [22:49:43.094 ] Make sure the defaults.bin file was properly installed.[22:49:43.094]

The root cause of this is the following line of code https://gitlab.com/madsbuvi/openmw/-/blob/openmw-vr/apps/launcher/advancedpage.cpp#L435

The launcher is attempting to configure disable display lists for multiview when the setting is actually named allow display lists for multiview

While the launcher's VR settings are not all-inclusive to the configuration file, the launcher failing to save due to this mismatch is confusing to novice users.
