Describe the current, buggy behavior

wp config has fails in a read-only environment.

Error: Could not process the 'wp-config.php' transformation.
Reason: wp-config.php is not writable.

Describe how other contributors can replicate this bug Steps to reproduce:

#!/bin/bash

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pantheon-systems/WordPress/default/wp-config.php

wp config has table_prefix
echo $? # Output: 0
chmod 444 wp-config.php
wp config has table_prefix
echo $? # Output: 1

Describe what you would expect as the correct outcome

wp config has works when the file is not readable, as it is only reading the content of the file. Let us know what environment you are running this on

Originally encountered on Pantheon's read-only live environment, but reproduced locally
