Subject: [PATCH] Add support for configuration files

Configuration files allow common arguments like --shadowy-level and
--blacklist to be saved and referenced rather being typed out each time.

ArgumentParser has been subclassed to allow more freedom when parsing
configuration files.

+### Configuration Files
+
+Rather than typing out every argument each time you use the solver, you may provide a file path (prefixed with "@") to the CLI.
+
+This file should contain command-line arguments. The solver will interpret these arguments as if they were typed in place of the file path.
+
+Configuration files are read top-to-bottom. Arguments can be delimited by a single space, broken onto different lines, or any combination thereof.
+
+Any number of configuration files may be provided simultaneously.

 ## Caveats
 
 The solver aims to maximize profit margin, rather than sheer profit. This is because it may be more profitable to make many smaller skeletons than one massive skeleton.
