Stateless usage with no config file involved

Login informations and directory cache are stored on the filesystem. You can also use this tool stateless with the switch --no-config (or -X). You must then provide --login and --password commands on every calls. Note that providing password on the command line is considered a bad practice.

Commands look like:

$ mcl find -f es --no-config --login=[e-mail] --password=r_N71kL4ee:cG28p-N,aam4
:iSpGZz4J '/Cloud Drive/Test'
:QKxQzDlD '/Cloud Drive/Test/Image test.png'
:DDAgCv1a '/Cloud Drive/Test/xkcd'

:CLRGYv5Y '/Cloud Drive/Test/xkcd/303-compiling.png'
