Give the possibility to set up configuration arguments in a file

[Le09]

I was looking up issue: https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI/discussions/1292 Which felt a bit unsatisfying. It turns out you can use configargparse as a drop-in replacement for argparse to get the feature for free.

Thank you very much for this amazing piece of software!

You need to add configargparse into requirements.txt

All right, thank you for catching this mistake, done!

So, first: this is really neat and handy, and the core idea of having config files is definitely a good one

However: it will likely be a goal in the near future to give comfyui a "real server config", one that you can configure in UI on localhost frontend / apply edits at runtimes / etc. When that happens we'll potentially also looking at integrating together different configs (eg the extra_model_paths config) into one central server config. So the issue with this PR would be, it adds a new comfyrc file, but that new file very quickly becomes a legacy file relative to the eventual "real config" file, which might end up making a bit of a mess

@mcmonkey4eva thank you for your insight. These are not mutually exclusive problems I think? You just need to decide a file format, and a filename. What I think might be limiting here is the .ini file format, for which you might prefer to work with Toml, Yaml, or Json? As long as you can en/de-code, you can always have the server overwrite the file in the directory with the highest precedence.
