Define configuration files
Define the location and contents of the configuration directory in the user's home directory. It contains all configuration files used by OpenStackClient.
This directory is not necessarily for the exclusive use of OpenStackClient. It contains configuration information that may be useful to other applications and should be in a standard location.
An OpenStackClient configuration file provides:
* low-priority default values for environment variables and global command-line options
* definitions for multiple cloud/credential configurations that can be referenced by name in a command
