[feature request] Load current configuration parameters server_url, node_id, tags during installation on Windows

[krzotr]

I have upgraded collector-sidecar from 0.1.6 to 0.1.7 version on my Windows workstation. During an upgrade, I configured server_url, node_id and tags parameter (I opened collector_sidecar.yml configuration file from 0.1.6 and used copy/paste to fill fields because I don't remember current params).

If it is possible, please add a feature which fills parameters server_url, node_id, and tags automatically during installation. In case if collector-sidecar is already installed and configuration file "C:\Program Files\Graylog\collector-sidecar\collector_sidecar.yml" is present.

I upgraded sidecar to 0.1.7, I do not want to change the configuration of server url, node id, and tags, so all configuration fields should be the same during installation.

Hi,
could you please test the silent install option? $ graylog_sidecar_installer.exe /S that should install the new binaries but don't overwrite existing configurations.

I have tested silent install collector_sidecar_installer_0.1.7-1.exe /S, works as you said - without overwriting current configurations.

I think will be nice to run sidecar installer (without silent install option) to do a similar job - do not ask for Graylog API URL, instance name and tags - just use current configuration.
