Initialization using config file

Initialization using config file requires a JSON config file with at least 3 config value

    { 
        "engine" : {
            "email" : "[email protected]",
            "password" : "adminpass_changeme",
            "type" : "VIRTUALIZATION"
        }
    }

Config file can be generated using dx_get_config command with -backup flag. Example file with all supported settings:

    {
        "dns" : {
            "dns_domain" : "delphix.com",
            "source" : "DHCP",
            "dns_server" : "172.16.105.2,172.16.101.11"
        },
        "ldap" : {
            "status" : "Disabled" | "Enabled",
            "server" : {
                "host" : "myserver.com",
                "port" => 123,
                "authMethod" : 'SIMPLE',
                "useSSL" : 1
            }
        },
        "syslog" : {
            "status" : "Disabled",
            "servers" : "",
            "severity" : "WARNING"
        },
        "engine" : {
            "email" : "[email protected]",
            "password" : "adminpass_changeme",
            "type" : "VIRTUALIZATION" | "MASKING",
        },
        "smpt" : {},
        "sso" : {
            "status" : "Disabled" | "enabled"
            "entityId" : "abc",
            "samlMetadata" : "<xml></xml>"
