Client: now the client binary accept an --endpoint argument to specify the RPC URL base

Haochen Xie requested to merge haochenxie/tezos:hx-client-endpoint-arg into master

Fixes: #861 (closed)

Currently to tell the client binary which RPC endpoint it should talk with one could only use the combination of --addr --port --tls. This has its limitation and doesn't support RPC servers that make uses of contextual path.

This MR introduces a new client argument --endpoint which allows the user to directly specify an RPC endpoint.

Also, this MR will disallow specifying both --endpoint and any of the other three options; and raise warning if any of --addr --port or --tls exists on either the cli args or in the config file

more specifically, the endpoint will be decided as below

  endpoint logic:
    1) if --endpoint provided as CLI argument,
       use it but check no presence of --addr, --port, or --tls
    2) otherwise, merge --addr, --port, and --tls with config file; then
         2a) if --endpoint exists in config file,
             use it but check no presence of merged --addr, --port, or --tls
         2b) otherwise synthesize --endpoint from --addr, --port, and --tls
