Implement Cobra CLI tooling, Viper config tooling (#336)
* start pulling out + replacing urfave and config

* replace many many instances of config

* move more stuff => viper

* properly remove urfave

* move some flags to root command

* add testrig commands to root

* alias config file keys

* start adding cli parsing tests

* reorder viper init

* remove config path alias

* fmt

* change config file keys to non-nested

* we're more or less in business now

* tidy up the common func

* go fmt

* get tests passing again

* add note about the cliparsing tests

* reorganize

* update docs with changes

* structure cmd dir better

* rename + move some files around

* fix dangling comma

# Troubleshooting
## Unmarshaling doesn't work
The most common reason for this issue is improper use of struct tags (eg. `yaml` or `json`). Viper uses [github.com/mitchellh/mapstructure](https://github.com/mitchellh/mapstructure) under the hood for unmarshaling values which uses `mapstructure` tags by default. Please refer to the library's documentation for using other struct tags.
## Cannot find package
Viper installation seems to fail a lot lately with the following (or a similar) error:
```
cannot find package "github.com/hashicorp/hcl/tree/hcl1" in any of:
/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.15.7_1/libexec/src/github.com/hashicorp/hcl/tree/hcl1 (from $GOROOT)
/Users/user/go/src/github.com/hashicorp/hcl/tree/hcl1 (from $GOPATH)
```
As the error message suggests, Go tries to look up dependencies in `GOPATH` mode (as it's commonly called) from the `GOPATH`.
Viper opted to use [Go Modules](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules) to manage its dependencies. While in many cases the two methods are interchangeable, once a dependency releases new (major) versions, `GOPATH` mode is no longer able to decide which version to use, so it'll either use one that's already present or pick a version (usually the `master` branch).
The solution is easy: switch to using Go Modules.
Please refer to the [wiki](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules) on how to do that.
**tl;dr* `export GO111MODULE=on`
