"twine configure" verb for a guided setup

[glyph]

Writing config files by hand is so 1998. Twine should have a verb for configuring itself.

As per #208, this guided configuration should store secret materials responsibly, i.e., requiring the keyring.

Could this be covered the twine accounts command proposed in https://github.com/pypa/twine/issues/324?

@bhrutledge I believe the opposite is more accurate. configure is more general, one could configure repository which includes the account, url, etc. The opposite isn't as true.

@sigmavirus24 It seemed to me that twine accounts had the benefit of a proposed spec, which covered the requirement to "store secret materials responsibly". This issue seems more vague.

It's my understanding that the only thing that's read from --config-file is repository, username, and password. Is there more to configure besides that?

[bhrutledge]

Poetry has a poetry config command that, among other things, saves repository configuration to something like ~/.config/pypoetry/config.toml. This seems like a decent pattern to follow.

Flit silently creates ~/.pypirc and saves the password to keyring if it's installed. I'd rather offer explicit configuration.
