Galaxy authentication and configuration file

gxtk has command line options --galaxy_url (-g) and --api_key (-a) for logging into galaxy. Alternatively the command line option --profile (-p) can be used to select a profile from a configuration file with the path ~/.gxtk.yml. The location of the file can be overriden by setting the GXTK_PROFILES_PATH environment variable or using the --profiles_path command line option. gxtk uses the parsec style of configuration, with a yaml key for each profile and either url or url and key set for profile. The default profile key is set with the key __default. See example profiles file
