Description
Sysbox currently picks up its config via command line parameters to sysbox-runc, sysbox-fs, and sysbox-mgr.
In addition to this, it would be good if Sysbox could pick up the configuration from a file. This is cleaner and will allow us to better deal with the number of config options (which are likely to grow over time).
Ideally it would be a single config file parsed by sysbox-mgr, from which sysbox-fs and sysbox-runc pick up their respective configurations. The config file could be in toml or json format (TBD).

Research direction
The request concerns configuration currently passed to sysbox-runc, sysbox-fs, and sysbox-mgr; start by tracing how each component receives its command-line parameters. Review the proposed single TOML or JSON file approach and define how sysbox-mgr would provide each component's settings, with all existing options covered as the completion criterion.
