Dave Collins c2bec24f51 Improve btcctl config.
This commit improves the configuration for btcctl in several ways:

- Add the ability to specify a config file
- Add a default entry to the rpc cert to point to the location
  it will likely be in the btcd home directory
- Move the config bits into a separate file for easier maintenance
