[global] Update config file location and layout
Moves the default config file we look for to /etc/sos/sos.conf instead of /etc/sos.conf. Extends the config file to look for a section matching the name of the component being used. Renames the "general" section to "global" and the "tunables" section to "plugin_options". Updates the default sos.conf to this style and adds some comments to the file. Update the man page for sos.conf. Note that this commit does NOT update sos.spec to drop the default configuration file in the new location, as that will be handled by a later commit to update the specfile wholesale. Closes: #2125 Resolves: #2136 Signed-off-by: Jake Hunsaker <jhunsake@redhat.com>
