Description
See https://github.com/simonw/datasette-publish-now/issues/9#issuecomment-618155764 - the --extra-options mechanism is in practice just used to set --config options in data that you publish, but that means you end up with pretty messy looking commands:
datasette publish my.db --extra-options="--config default_page_size:50 --config sql_time_limit_ms:3500"
A neater design would be to support --config as an option for datasette publish directly:
datasette publish my.db --config default_page_size:50 --config sql_time_limit_ms:3500
