* documentation update - usage of CLI argument

* fixed name-clash + unit tests

* feature test added

* BDD tests added

* Begin migrating/rewording --cf tests in pytest-bdd.

Uses current directory instead of deep directory structure, but requires a given for each config file referenced

* Fix issue where specifying a config-file that needs to be upgraded ended up upgrading the user config file instead

* Uncomment and rework remaining tests for pytest-bdd instead of behave

* Fix copytree for Python 3.7 (which doesn't support dirs_exist_ok)

* Minor fixes to alternative config examples

* Remove behave tests (behave is no longer in use)

* Move config file unit test to unit test dir and use pytext path fixture instead of current directory to find test data

* Use explicit "given the config exists" for copying config files instead of shoehorning in "given we use the config" twice

* Change when/when to when/and

* Clarify scenarios and fix indentation

* Confirm primary config file isn't modified when encrypting/decrypting a journal in an alternate config file

* Remove try/except on copytree since I'm no longer using the same

### Using an alternate config
You can specify an alternate configuration file for the current instance of `jrnl` using `--config-file CONFIG_FILE_PATH` where
`CONFIG_FILE_PATH` is a path to an alternate `jrnl` configuration file.

# Use personalised configuration file for personal journal entries
jrnl --config-file ~/foo/jrnl/personal-config.yaml
# Use alternate configuration file for work-related entries
jrnl --config-file ~/foo/jrnl/work-config.yaml
# Use default configuration file (created on installation)
jrnl
```
## Multiple journal files
You can configure `jrnl`to use with multiple journals (eg.
