[chirp_users] Open stock config-Noaa Weather

[W Paul Mills]

Actually, there is a user stock_configs folder, and a system
stock_configs folder. I believe, that the first time chirp is run, the
system folder contents are copied to the user folder. The actual
locations for these vary depending on operating system, but are in very
predictable locations.
