lazy reading of config files in SettingsManager

This prevents SettingsManager from reading the config files right when
it is isntantiated and instead waits for the main module to call
`read_[notmuch]config` with the right path.

This should prevent problems with accidentally reading the default
config paths despite being told otherwise (via commandline options)
