supervisorctl read from ~/.supervisorctl.conf

[msabramo]

This is a good place for users to do user-specific customizations, like change the prompt or add plug-ins.

or to add color to supervisorctl status output which is a PR that I hope to submit soon... 😄

[supervisorctl]
colorize_status = True

@mcdonc: What do you think?

Here's the colorized status PR that I alluded to above: #530

I'd rather follow the xdg-basedir-spec and read per-user settings from $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/supervisord/supervisorctl.conf (~/.config/supervisord/supervisorctl.conf by default) I actually had a similar patch in mind for supervisord in mind as well already.

I've left some comments about the search paths over in #576. I would welcome discussion about this and other search path issues in that thread.

I'm going to close this in favor of #742. Several people now have requested letting the config filename be set by an environment variable so I've come around on it. If that was implemented, this PR would not be needed, since you could put export SUPERVISOR_CONF=$HOME/supervisord.conf in your ~/.profile.
