nim doc doesn't use default nimdoc.cfg with config.nims in XDG_CONFIG_HOME

[kaushalmodi]

Since past few days I have started using ~/.config/nim/config.nims and today I see another unexpected impact of that (first one being #9420).

When running nim doc, it now doesn't seem to look at the default nimdoc.cfg that gets installed with Nim.

Example

Place a config.nims in ~/,config/nim/ dir, and run nim doc on any Nim file.

Current Output

With config.nims in place, the nim-default nimdoc.cfg is not read. I see below on doing nim doc foo.nim:

Hint: used config file '/home/kmodi/stow/pkgs/nim/devel/config/nim.cfg' [Conf]
Hint: used config file '/home/kmodi/.config/nim/config.nims' [Conf]
Hint: system [Processing]
...

If I remove that config.nims, running nim doc foo.nim shows:

Hint: used config file '/home/kmodi/stow/pkgs/nim/devel/config/nim.cfg' [Conf]
Hint: used config file '/home/kmodi/stow/pkgs/nim/devel/config/nimdoc.cfg' [Conf]
Hint: system [Processing]
...

Expected Output

I was expecting to see this instead:

Hint: used config file '/home/kmodi/stow/pkgs/nim/devel/config/nim.cfg' [Conf]
Hint: used config file '/home/kmodi/stow/pkgs/nim/devel/config/nimdoc.cfg' [Conf]
Hint: used config file '/home/kmodi/.config/nim/config.nims' [Conf]
Hint: system [Processing]
...

I've tried this on Nim 1.3.5, and it seems it works correctly now, or at least I couldn't reproduce it.

It works.. though now it's making 1 pass of nimdoc.cfg and 2 passes of all the other configs:

Hint: used config file '/home/kmodi/usr_local/apps/7/nim/devel/config/config.nims' [Conf]
