Consider command line arguments

[thbar]

Just creating an issue for now: I want to take the time to think this through.

The current way to pass arguments to tweak the settings of a given script is via ENV[''] variables.

Another possibility would be to add args passing in the kiba CLI itself, like @bcherrington did in 97758bb and ca5240a.

I must also document this in all cases, since this is a fairly standard need.

I've been testing this a lot on the field on ETL projects using command line, and so far ENV variables have always worked perfectly (or that + yml files for more elaborated needs). I'll close for now.

Kiba v2 is out and officially supports a programmatic API allowing to issue calls from Rake, Sidekiq etc.

Because of this, I think there is no need anymore to handle command line arguments in a specific fashion, as one can easily implement their custom CLI.
