remove implicit read of .myclirc files in the cwd

rolandwalker · rolandwalker · commit 3f3196e404ce · 2026-06-22T05:16:07.000-04:00
This was never documented, and should not have been possible without
at least a warning to the user.  The functionality could be added back
with some form of explicit argument.

Requires reformatting of test/myclirc to keep the repository git-clean
after running behave.  We should probably also fix that so that the
behave suite does not write back to myclirc.

Preparation for release 2.0.
