Why defining run_time on worker node raises an error

[Sawiq]

Prerequisites

• I am using the latest version of Locust
• I am suggesting a new feature, not asking a question

Description

Currently when worker node receives run_time parameter raises an error and it seems that stops working.

I thing that worker could simply ignore this parameter and at most log a warning. This would simplify configuration in case of 'local distributed' load, i.e. multiple worker processes on one machine for better CPU utilization.

Funnily enough it seems that this error is not raised, when --config option is used and file has non-standard name (like worker.conf)

Tested on v. 2.25.0 - latest on pip.

Yea, it really only made sense before config files were introduced. I'll change it to an info level log message.

Or maybe you can do it? :) I might not get around to it for a while...

Sweet, that was a quick one! Thanks :)
