 Description   

If you for example set security.authentication=mandatory in the config file, but have --noauth in your command line args, the server just silently takes the command line arg, in this case --noauth as the true value of the parameter, with no indication of the conflict. We should a warning at startup if there are conflicting values between the config file and command line arguments.

This is consistent with the behavior of many if not all *nix utilities. The command line overrides the config file, and (typically) later arguments on the command line override earlier ones.
