Accept a cfg as an argument as an alt way to start the viewer
The user can specify a tigervnc configuration file as an argument to the
viewer. Previously the viewer assumed this to be a server, but now we
will first check if there is any file matching the given argument. If
so, try to load the content of that file, like we normally do.
Fixes issue #38.
