The new config file currently only configures the same options that were
already available through environment variables. However I have ideas
for additional features that would be much nicer to support using a
structured configuration format like TOML rather than environment
variables, so config files exist now!
The previous environment variables are still supported and will be used
if you don't have a config file. I plan to keep supporting the MPD_HOST
and MPD_PORT environment variables forever since they're shared with
other MPD clients such as mpc, but I may eventually drop the environment
variables specific to mpd-now-playable in a future release.
