Allow changing the autosave period via refine.sh/bat on command line #4113

Description

@thadguidry

I have some large projects that require launching where I really need the autosave period to be closer to 60 minutes. I use a few Windows shortcuts on my desktop for some common large OpenRefine projects that I sometimes cross with, etc. The problem is that I cannot easily use the Windows shortcuts to launch these particular large OpenRefine projects because I cannot also save the shortcuts with a command line parameter to control the autosaving. I can only control autosaving period from the refine.ini file.

a custom refine.ini path also is not a parameter that can be passed to the refine.sh/bat which probably would be the best solution all around.

Proposed solution

allow passing a custom refine.ini path as a parameter for the refine.sh/bat launcher.
We already have in the scripts a "endConfigReading" section that could be re-used and parameterized for consuming a custom refine.ini path such as

refine /c C:\Users\thadg\bigfile_refine.ini
