Request for copies of config file and hwmap file along with daqconf_multiru_gen.info

[bieryAtFnal]

At the moment, the command-line arguments that are passed to daqconf_multiru_gen are stored in an "info" file that is created in the top directory of the generated configuration.

It would be really great to also have copies of the input daqconf.json and hw_map.txt files that were used in generating the configuration stored somewhere for future reference.

If this functionality already exists, we can simple make a note in this Issue and mark it as unneeded...

This is a good idea however the fact that the hardware map isn't a json file complicates things. All the files are uploaded to a mongodb in case the user wants to run a k8s run, and txt file won't work. I have another issue in dfmodules (I think) about this, the hardware map should be added to the dataflow configuration rather than in a standalone file.

Last call before I go and close this as "won't fix", because I feel we could still create a file that looks like:

{
 "hwmap": "# DRO_SourceID DetLink DetSlot DetCrate DetID DRO_Host DRO_Card DRO_SLR DRO_Link 
100 0 4 6 3 localhost 0 0 0
101 1 4 6 3 localhost 0 0 1"
}

and be named hwmap.json, as a temporary fix.

@plasorak , your temporary fix sounds reasonable to me, so I vote for going ahead with it, at least on develop branch(es).
My sense from our earlier discussion was A) we weren't sure whether it should go into v3.2.x or v3.3.0, and B) we would discuss possible implementations as part of a wider discussion about HWMap files, but in neither case did I imagine that we would "not fix" this, but rather reassign it to v3.3.0.

You're right, should be deferred rather than closed.

In the mean time this should solve this problem: #239
