(was; vit "settings" mode)

One of the facts-of-life using taskwarrior is that the .taskrc file is getting huge, and can get confusing to navigate. This feature request is for a "settings" mode for vit whereby the .rc file is presented in an interactive interface. This would allow pretty much all taskwarrior settings to be presented in a clear, consistent, ncursesy way, and even an opportunity to get "info" on each setting, and an easy way to change it. Colors could be used to hi-light conflicting or non-default settings. Urgency sort orders and color-themes could be shown and tweaked in "real-time'.

Should be started like other reports (leading ":") and allow filter terms, as in;

:show urgency

listing all related settings and their values, allowing the user to scroll up and down, select a setting and hit < enter > (or "e" for edit?), resulting in a shell-prompt pre-filled, ready to change the value, looking like;

task> config urgency.next.coefficient=15.0[]

(where "[]" is the cursor position) Want to change the value? Backspace, NewValue, Enter done!

The interface could be consistent with the interface for displaying tasks. Enter or = would give "info". "e" could edit in editor. And modify could run 'task config ' and then whatever is entered at the prompt.
