Note the thing about this is that it creates first the actual parser specified in tika-config.xml (or a DefaultParser if not specified) when specifying the Tika config on the command line - as opposed to the environment variable and/or system property way in which it directly creates the DefaultParser, regardless. This can cause big time havoc say if you have a parser that decorates AutoDetectParser like cTAKESParser does. The only way in fact for it to work correctly with SPI and all the surrounding config magic is to specify the config from the command line which this fix enables.

> Tika-app's TikaCLI allows a command line parameter, --config, to override the Tika config at the command line. For whatever reason, Tika-server doesn't it should since it causes a different control flow for things to get created. I first saw this when testing the CTAKESParser (TIKA-1645) in Tika-server.
