Possible breaking changes in config files for NodeConfigFile attribute

[ArturWieczorek]

From this Slack thread: https://input-output-rnd.slack.com/archives/CA919E6Q6/p1661278131542139
it looks like cardano-node configuration files under https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node/tree/master/configuration
may be removed in the near future. Some of our db-sync configs rely on those files, like mainnet:

https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-db-sync/blob/master/config/mainnet-config.yaml#L15

The current source of truth for config files is: https://book.world.dev.cardano.org/environments.html

Would it be reasonable to only keep configs for mainnet in repositories, as an alternative way to the book? For anything else we can link the book. This is what db-sync does.

We can delete the configs and adjust documentation if node also deletes them. Thank you for bringing this up!

Btw I would avoid private (slack) links in github. We're trying to turn db-sync more into an open source project and private links may discourage people.

I think that's a good idea @kderme .
