pespin has submitted this change. ( https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-gsm-tester/+/18204 )

Change subject: Cmdline arg -c sets main configuration file (old paths.conf) instead of dir containing it
......................................................................

Cmdline arg -c sets main configuration file (old paths.conf) instead of dir containing it

It has been notified that current configuration system is difficult to
understand and to use, so it has been envisioned to refactor it a bit.
The idea is that the user passes a -c path/to/main.conf file, which in
turn contains whatever osmo-gsm-tester main settings supports (basically
what old paths.conf used to be, plus some files harcoded to the same -c
directory are now configurable through the main configuration file).
