Add a new startup option which will, if set, prompt the user for a
password to derive a key from. This key will later be used to encrypt
and/or decrypt `hsm_secret`.
This was made a noarg option even if it would have been preferable to
let the user the choice of how to specify the password. Since we have
to chose, better to not let the password in the commands history.
Will be demuxed into starting the selected DB backend in one of the next
commits. Defaults to the old database location.

mrkd started enforcing the `name -- short description` style of top-level
headings somewhere, and was thus failing to build the man-pages. I swapped
the title and with the existing short description to make it work
again. `mrkd` will automatically infer the section from the filename so no
need to put it in the title as well.
In addition I removed the "last updated" lines at the bottom since they are
out of date at best, and misleading at the worst. If we want to keep them, I'd
suggest generating them from the commit that last touched them.
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.
[ Update CHANGELOG.md and man pages -- RR ]
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.
