Summary
Currently, configuring a server to validate involves creating either a [validator_seed] entry or a [validator_token] entry.
This is a problem because those entries contain the information necessary to validate and can be accidentally leaked when a validator operator is asking for assistance and is instructed to show parts of their configuration.
We should store the necessary data (seed or token) in a separate file that is either referenced by name in the main config or specified by a command line option.
For example:
[validator]
credentials=/path/to/whatever
Or:
/opt/ripple/bin/rippled --validator-credentials=/path/to/whatever
