#13037: compile time option to not read config from sysconfdir

AIUI, right now tor will read /etc/tor/torrc and /etc/tor/torrc-defaults
(or /usr/local/etc/tor/...) when started as any user, if they exist and
aren't overridden on the command line. (Other conditionals may apply.)
I'd like a compile time option that would stop tor reading any global
configuration/defaults files. If no ~/.torrc exists and no configuration
file is passed on the command line it should instead just use its built-in
defaults.
That way, users running tor under their own user won't get interfered with
/etc/tor/torrc settings. The init script can continue to pass
/etc/tor/torrc to the tor binary on the command line.
Cheers,
