Allow --patients to consume text files with IDs in it

[mikix]

This allows --patients to be passed either an NDJSON file (and I also had it scan for JSON Lines files whynot) or a text file that it will scan for one ID per line.

This is helpful when you have a non-Group-based cohort that you want to crawl.

I also added a commit to drop the old typescript config file, since I personally found it confusing to have both in the repo still. But if you want me to keep that file going, happy to add it back.

Code changes look great! However, I don't understand why the example config had to be removed. Its purpose is to help first-time users get started quickly by copying it and then modifying it as needed. That is also explained in the README. I think you will have to restore it, unless you have better idea of how this can be done.

However, I don't understand why the example config had to be removed.

Your confusion is a perfect example of why that file should be removed. I deleted the old (no longer referenced) v1 config (./config/example-config.ts) not the modern recommended v2 configuration file (./example-config.js). Having both is confusing, especially since we don't really support the v1 format.

Oh yes! I can't remember how I've ended up with two files 👍

Can you also remove this line and it should be ready to merge

Done 👍 (arguably, the config/* line could also go, since that's no longer a folder we ship/encourage anyone to use, but it's harmless)

Yeah..., I am using ./config/ to store my private config files. I recommend people use a folder outside the project to avoid adding secrets to git, but I don't follow my own example because it is slightly less messy this way (easier to find things after you've forgotten what goes where...). So lets just keep that for now. Thanks!
