the --config-file global flag was defined but not properly used by most commands. this fixes the flag to work consistently, allowing config to be stored separately from the repo. useful for Kubernetes deployments where config comes from a ConfigMap and data lives on a PersistentVolume. changes: - fsrepo: add InitWithUserConfig/OpenWithUserConfig that respect custom config paths - fsrepo: fix InitWithUserConfig to create version/datastore_spec even when config file already exists (pre-populated from ConfigMap) - commands: update all commands that open repo to use the new functions - daemon: add CONFIGURATION FILE MANAGEMENT section to help text explaining difference between --init-config (one-time copy) and --config-file (persistent external path) - init: clarify that default-config template preserves Identity
