read command line configuration options from files

RSpec reads command line configuration options from files in two different
locations:

Local: "./.rspec" (i.e. in the project's root directory)
Global: "~/.rspec" (i.e. in the user's home directory)

Options declared in the local file override those in the global file, while
those declared in RSpec.configure will override any ".rspec" file.

Scenarios
  1. color set in .rspec
  2. formatter set in RSpec.configure overrides .rspec
  3. using ERB in .rspec
color set in .rspec
Given
a file named ".rspec" with: 
--color
And
a file named "spec/example_spec.rb" with: 
describe "color_enabled" do
  context "when set with RSpec.configure" do
    before do
      # color is disabled for non-tty output, so stub the output stream
      # to say it is tty, even though we're running this with cucumber
      RSpec.configuration.output_stream.stub(:tty?) { true }
    end

    it "is true" do
      RSpec.configuration.should be_color_enabled
    end
  end
end
When
I run "rspec ./spec/example_spec.rb"
Then
the output should contain "1 example, 0 failures"
formatter set in RSpec.configure overrides .rspec
Given
a file named ".rspec" with: 
--format progress
And
a file named "spec/spec_helper.rb" with: 
RSpec.configure {|c| c.formatter = 'documentation'}
And
a file named "spec/example_spec.rb" with: 
require "spec_helper"

describe "formatter" do
  context "when set with RSpec.configure and in spec.opts" do
    it "takes the value set in spec.opts" do
      RSpec.configuration.formatter.should be_an(RSpec::Core::Formatters::DocumentationFormatter)
    end
  end
end
When
I run "rspec ./spec/example_spec.rb"
Then
the output should contain "1 example, 0 failures"
using ERB in .rspec
Given
a file named ".rspec" with: 
--format <%= true ? 'documentation' : 'progress' %>
And
a file named "spec/example_spec.rb" with: 
describe "formatter" do
  it "is set to documentation" do
    RSpec.configuration.formatter.should be_an(RSpec::Core::Formatters::DocumentationFormatter)
  end
end
When
I run "rspec ./spec/example_spec.rb"
Then
the output should contain "1 example, 0 failures"
