The behaviour of creating the config file if it's missing while
convenient causes confusion and problems when the tools are run
in the wrong folder. They end up creating a shadow installation
and misdirect the user with nonsensical error messages, instead
pointing to the real problem which is that the tool can't find
the configuration needed to actually run.
Require a config file to be present at startup and refuse to run if this
file is missing. To support the odd use-case of creating the config
when missing a --create-config flag is added. To conveniently generate
a config file to edit out from the "config create" command is added.
Ctl ended up calling its main class for "Control" for historical
reasons, along with its config file and plugin entrypoint.
The plugin entrypoint was renamed to ctl in 808eda0513. This
finishes that renaming by also renaming the main class, default config
file, config-control command, and main entrypoint.
The config-control command is renamed to config to be consistent with
the host and controller's config commands.
The term "control" is still kept in the config and message locations as
a common specifier for both ctl and web_ui.
Rethrow errors other than ENOENT and ENOTDIR when reading the package
spec as a directory, mark the tests that run npm as slow so FAST_TEST
skips them, and use ./external_plugins/my_plugin in the README examples.

Installing a plugin used to take two steps, npm install followed by plugin
add, and both silently did their work in whatever directory they were run
from. The new plugin install <package> subcommand runs npm install --save
and then discovers the plugin through the existing loadPluginList logic,
so the plugin list is updated in the same step.
The command refuses to run outside a Clusterio installation, detected by
the package.json the installer writes or one that depends on a Clusterio
package. plugin add with a bare package name warns in the same situation.
Reinstalling a plugin that is already listed reports it as such instead of
failing. Installing a package without the clusterio-plugin keyword fails.

The role of a slave as a host for Factorio servers is not well reflected
in its name and has caused confusion among users. Rename slave to host
to better reflect its role as a host of Factorio servers.
The role of the master server as the party controlling every part of the
cluster is not well reflected in its name and has caused confusion among
users on several occasions. Rename master to controller to better
reflects its role.
Simplify the the way markdown files are formatted to make them easier to
author without editors that do auto line breaking, and make the diffs
from them simpler to read.
