Description
kafka-assigner should be able to support a configuration file to provide default arguments. This would be things like:
- Setting sizer selection and options
- Setting a default balance module list
- Default tools and JRE locations
The file can be looked for in a default location (e.g. ~/.kafka-tools) or specified on the command line (in which case it should be processed before the rest of the command line is).

Research direction
Start by locating the kafka-assigner command-line entry point and its existing argument handling. Review how sizer options, balance modules, tools, and JRE locations are represented, then define the configuration-file format and precedence for default-location and command-line files. Done means these defaults are loaded before the remaining command-line arguments.
