go-spacemesh Config

Note: this section needs an update to reflect switch to viper for config file management

• We are using toml files, here and here for config file syntax.
• Use of a config file is optional.
• Node uses default config values, unless provided with a .toml config file via command line arg or has custom command line config values.
• We might provide an example toml config file.
• App shell supports flags and commands. Flags override default config values. Commands execute any code module that might modify config values.
• Params are non-configurable hard-coded consts. Ideally all params should become configurable configs.
• Commands are specified as app args
• It is important to separate flags, params and commands
• Each major new module should implement its own flags, params, and cli commands - see node for a ref impl.
