Title: Added the `getconfig` command

This command prints a pants configuration variable on standard output.

This fixes a bug that would cause the build of pants itself to fail if you specify an alternate `pants_distdir` in `pants.ini` before invoking the `pants` shell script that builds the pants .pex file.

Very meta.
