Make switching profiles easier

[eljrax]

Requiring having the --profile option (or any other for that matter) at the end of a string is quite inconvenient.

It's rare that you'll only fire off a single command, most of what we do are series of commands (find image ID, flavor ID, build instance, show instance ...) Constantly having to ctrl+left arrow twice in order to switch subcommand/action is a massive inconvenience.
I've aliased my way out of this for now, but positional arguments feels a bit uncalled for here.

Ideally --profile (or any other globally applicable options) should come right after the rack command. Or if that's not doable for whatever reason, at least allow for something along the lines of
rack profile activate <profilename>
and apply the selected profile to all future commands until switched.

having the ability to activate a profile would be the ideal situation as ultimately it is as simple as adding an enabled flag to the config file to determine which profile is currently active and use the --profile option to ignore this

@eljrax @Trozz thoughts on user experience here: #432 (comment) ?

[Trozz]

@jrperritt that looks great, i think that solves this issue

[eljrax]

@jrperritt I don't have a strong preference or thoughts on the "show active region" debate in #432, so whatever the outcome of that, this looks good to me! Thanks!
