pyproject.toml support for locust configuration

[johnnymetz]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My project includes a lot of small configuration files. Many Python packages allow configurations to be included in pyproject.toml which helps reduce this config clutter and promotes consistency. See PEP 518. Some of these packages include:

• black
• isort
• pytest
• mypy

Describe the solution you'd like

Support configuration in pyproject.toml. Would be great to look for the config there by default (the locust config files can still take precedence) so users don't have to pass --config=pyproject.toml - other projects support this.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None

Additional context

I'm happy to work on this is needed.

What would be required on locust side to support this?

@cyberw Hello! First, I want to thank you for maintaining Locust; it has been very helpful in my work. It would be really cool to add the ability for Locust to parse configurations from pyproject.toml instead of requiring a separate config file.

I have checked the code. Changes would require modifying argument_parser.py. The Locust arguments parser uses the configargparse lib, which already has a built-in TOML parser, so there shouldn't be a lot of code changes.

I would be really glad to contribute this feature if it's welcome. I'm waiting for your response, thanks!

A PR would be most welcome!
