Add a manim cfg-show sub command #201

With the new cascading config system, there will usually not be a single file that contains the final, actual, config that will be loaded into manim. It would be convenient to have a command, say manim cfg-show that parses the cascading files and then either (a) prints the final, actual, config options on screen, or (b) opens them as a new file.

Originally from here

I'm partial to (a) since (b) might give the false impression that one is editing "the" final config file. But there is no final config file, there are cascading files. In fact, running manim cfg-show from different folders will give different results since the config file with lowest priority is folder-wide.

Ties in with #151 @Aathish04 is there an issue for the general config-chooser command you are working on?
