This is easy since we did the option parsing cleanup, but it has the
effect that plugins are launched from the lightning-dir. Now
we have dynamic plugins, this means startup and post-startup plugins
experience the same environment.
This is absolutely a desirable thing: they can just drop files in
their cwd rather than having to move (including, I might note, core
files!).
We also highlight the change in various places (and a drive-up update
of PLUGINS.md which says you have to use --plugin).
The next patch adds a backwards compatibility wedge for old users of
relative plugin paths.

Right now, the `config` file is read *after* the configuration working directory is moved to in the software. However one configuration option `lightning-dir` settable in the `config` file sets this working directory. As the directory is already opened (which defaults to `$HOME/.lightning`) before the configuration is read, the configured directory will not be used.
This patch parses the configuration file before opening the working directory, fixing this bug.

And no more filtering out messages, as we should no longer spam the
logs with them (the 'Connected json input' one was removed some time
ago).

Gossipd will ignore the second one, but doing it in the front end
gives an explicit error message.
