New command line tool to initialise configuration #94

Open davidorme opened 9 months ago

It would be cleaner if users could do something like:

safedata_config --init_user
safedata_config --init_site
safedata_config --init /specific/path/config.cfg

And end up with an initial configuration file with default values or gaps to fill in. This should probably be automatically generated from the CONFIGSPEC definition somehow: maybe see https://github.com/DiffSK/configobj/issues/102. We'd need to do something about providing 'placeholder' defaults for all values, I think?

Maybe we could even link that into the taxondb tools to populate the file when they run?
