Description Mark Macdonald

Currently only `npm_path` and `pwd` options can be set from orion.conf, and other stuff (p/port, pwd/password, w/workspace, dev, log) has to be passed on the command line.

There's no reason for this distinction. Every option should be settable from either the command line or the conf file.

Specifically I'd like the server workspace for 2.0 - otherwise those that NPM it can't point to other places on their drive to edit code, only a .workspace directory under node_modules

For the Orion Java server there is a chicken/egg problem that Equinox needs the workspace location very early in startup likely before we can read the configuration file. But for node server I expect this should be feasible because "workspace" in that context just means "the place to read/write files".

I thought this would be easy, but it required too much refactoring, so I'm targeting it for 3.0. I opened another bug for just the minimal change required to address Ken's request in Comment 1.
