Unable to run with no config file

[SHADOW-REX]

Hyprpaper used to work earlier without any config files purely through ipc, but with the latest updates it errors out:
❯ hyprpaper & [1] 1588 [LOG] Welcome to hyprpaper! built from commit () terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' what(): Could not find config in HOME, XDG_CONFIG_HOME, XDG_CONFIG_DIRS or /etc/hypr. [1] + 1588 IOT instruction hyprpaper

Same as #192

It seems that creating an empty config file is enough to get Hyperpaper working again.

As previously mentioned by @Myphz this seems to be a revert of #87, is there any way to make the documentation aware of the change or restore the ability to not have a config file.

You're right, and here i already updated my config to kill and restart hyprpaer on every wall change :)

PS: I'll keep the issue open for the other reason, Updating documentation.
