Inputting the endpoints

The actual endpoints are not included with the script. They can be put in a config-file, format:

list_endpoint = https://WHATEVER
dataset_endpoint = https://WHATEVER

The config is searched for in the following files, in prioritized order:

$PWD/.nirdarchive2rocrate.toml
$HOME/.nirdarchive2rocrate.toml
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nirdarchive2rocrate.toml
/usr/local/etc/nirdarchive2rocrate.toml
/etc/nirdarchive2rocrate.toml

The config can be overriden by the flags --dataset_endpoint and --list_endpoint.
