setup parsing

Generate input decks for the LST parsing sweep.

Config values in lst.cfg provide the default parsing inputs. CLI options override those defaults for the current invocation.

Options

Option Meaning
--cfg, -c Load a specific config file
--out, -o Choose the output directory
--name, -n Choose the output filename
--auto-fill, -a Fill unset sweep values from meanflow.bin
--force, -f Overwrite existing config values when used with --auto-fill

--auto-fill can persist derived values such as sweep bounds and strides back into lst.cfg when a config path is available.
