print a randomly generated suitable password to stderr. You can also
generate one from the shell yourself like this:
bash -c 'tr -dc a-zA-Z0-9 < /dev/urandom | head -c32 && echo'

`conf`, `pid`, and `wallet` accept relative paths which are interpreted as
relative to the data directory. `wallet` *only* supports relative paths.

All three configurations assume several paths that might need to be adjusted.
