Use whitelist for CLI arguments instead of blacklist #550

Closed Tbaut closed 5 years ago

The Fether application accepts command line configuration arguments. Certain arguments are blacklisted. The use of a blacklist is not recommended, as new features could be added to the underlying Parity node, resulting in unintended extra functionality invokable by CLI.

We should allow --chain. If any other argument is needed, users can still spin up the node separately and pass the arguments they wish.
