CLI: add additional config support

[stefan-lange]

I am using chia in a custom docker image and would like to split the tasks (1 node, 1 farmer (with failover), 1 wallet, multiple harvesters on multiple docker swarm servers in different locations). Therefore I need to configure the connections between -at least- farmer and node. The harvester can be configured, that is nice. To edit the config.yml via sed on task startup does not feel right. I would like to have more config options via CLI.

Example code (I am not a python dev): chia/cmds/configure.py

chia configure --set-fullnode-peer "1.2.3.4:8444"

@click.option("--set-fullnode-peer", help="Set the full node peer for farmer/timelord/wallet - IP:Port", type=str)

if set_fullnode_peer:
        try:
            if set_fullnode_peer.index(":"):
                # TODO refactor: use function/method for the split, if possible, e.g. extractHostAndPort(str)
                host, port = (":".join(set_fullnode_peer.split(":")[:-1]), set_fullnode_peer.split(":")[-1])
                config["farmer"]["full_node_peer"]["host"] = host
                config["farmer"]["full_node_peer"]["port"] = int(port)
                config["timelord"]["full_node_peer"]["host"] = host
                config["timelord"]["full_node_peer"]["port"] = int(port)
                config["wallet"]["full_node_peer"]["host"] = host
                config["wallet"]["full_node_peer"]["port"] = int(port)
                print(f"Full node peer set to '{host}:{port}'")
                change_made = True
        except ValueError:
            print("Full node peer must be in format [Host:Port]")

chia configure --set-farmer-xch-target-address "xch12.......abcd"

@click.option("--set-farmer-xch-target-address", help="Set the farmer reward address. Check that it starts with 'xch'.", type=str)

if set_farmer_xch_target_address is not None:
    config["farmer"]["xch_target_address"] = set_farmer_xch_target_address
    print(f"Set farmer reward address to '{set_farmer_xch_target_address}'")
    change_made = True

chia configure --set-pool-xch-target-address "xch12.......abcd"

@click.option("--set-pool-xch-target-address", help="Set the pool reward address. Check that it starts with 'xch'.", type=str)

if set_pool_xch_target_address is not None:
    config["pool"]["xch_target_address"] = set_pool_xch_target_address
    print(f"Set pool reward address to '{set_pool_xch_target_address}'")
    change_made = True

Those addresses should be validated. Maybe there already exists a validator, which we can use here.

Pool address vs official pool address can also be misleading here. The offical pool address is no configured via config.yml.

Maybe someone could implement it, hope that helps.

further ideas
