Loading of configuration.py

[danwos]

The file configuration.py should be loaded by groundwork automatically during application startup.

Therefore there must be some mechanism to get the location of configuration.py to the gw app:

• Inside code (e.g. my_app = App(config="./conf.py"))
• Parameter on cli (e.g. -c /home/me/my_app/configuration.py)
• Environment-Variable (e.g. GROUNDWORK_CONFIG)
• Default value (e.g. %USER_HOME%//.config/gw/configuration.py)

For -c option, a plugin could register this function via CommandPattern.

But this plugin must be loaded before any other user defined plugin, so some kind of "internal_plugins = []" should be loaded... (Other names e.g. root_plugins)
