This allows users to create simple configuration file (~/.config/bat/config on Linux) that has the following format:

--flag1
--flag2
--option1=value1
# lines beginning with '#' are ignored
--option2 value2
# empty lines and trailing whitespace are also ignored

--option3=value3
# Flags and options can also be on a single ine:
--flag4 --flag5 --option4 value4

It also adds support for BAT_OPTS environment variable with the same format. It takes precedence over the configuration file.

see #310

There is one thing missing: --style can not be passed in twice, so users will not be able to configure --style in their config file and overwrite it on the command-line later.

Would it be possible to set an env variable pointing to the configuration file, similar to ripgrep's $RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH? I like to keep the config there as I check it into VCS
