Much config needed to `./pants goal help publish`

[jsirois]

In order to test out some publish phase additions in a pants python-only repo using the current state of plugins, I had to apply this diff of pure defaults config:

The only bit that should be required today is the pants.ini [parse] section to enable my plugins.

It's well known there is cleanup needed for pants config; this issue just provides some concrete data.

I'm cleaning up config+flags now, so this is an excellent data point. Thanks!

we now have decent defaults for options throughout the system.
