Some rclone commands, such as `genautocomplete`, do not require configuration.

the loading of the configuration file by overriding the location with an empty
string `""` or the special value `/notfound`, or the os null device represented
by value `NUL` on Windows and `/dev/null` on Unix systems (before rclone
