Add "show-defaults" command #150
Conversation
Add a command "show-defaults" that shows current default configuration
for suricata-update.
Sample
```
└─ $ ▶ ./bin/suricata-update --show-defaults
13/5/2019 -- 16:47:48 - <Info> -- Loading /etc/suricata/update.yaml
13/5/2019 -- 16:47:48 - <Info> -- Using data-directory /var/lib/suricata.

hmm this should not have the internal information like "subcommand". Needs a spin.

On second thoughts, this is probably a redundant feature. -v gives most of the required information and now we even have an --offline option in case we do not want to update the rules while getting this info.

I could live without this feature. But its not a bad feature. Some command with the following output could be useful:
Using Suricata: /usr/bin/suricata
Using Suricata configuration file: /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml
Config files Suricata-update would load...
Writing rules to ....
Thats pretty rough, but gets the idea across.
Another idea would be a --dry-run that goes through all the motions, but doesn't actually do anything. Could be tricky though.

Should the --dry-run feature be implemented instead then?
