Config file handling broken

Commit ab28b9f introduced a bug with config file handling: When no host is specified the default is set to localhost
and the configuration file is ignored:
$ mqttcli sub -d -t 'tele/outdoor/SENSOR'
INFO[0000] Broker URI: tcp://localhost:1883
INFO[0000] Topic: tele/outdoor/SENSOR
INFO[0000] connecting...
$ mqttcli sub --conf .mqttcli.conf -d -t 'tele/outdoor/SENSOR'
INFO[0000] Broker URI: tcp://localhost:1883
INFO[0000] Topic: tele/outdoor/SENSOR
INFO[0000] connecting...
$ mqttcli sub --host="" --conf .mqttcli.cfg -d -t 'tele/outdoor/SENSOR'
INFO[0000] Broker URI: tcp://<my configured server>:1883
INFO[0000] Topic: tele/outdoor/SENSOR
INFO[0000] connecting...
Only setting the host explicitly to ""
ensures the configuration file is applied.

Ran into this same issue, addressed the symptom by adding this line to my .zshrc or .bashrc
export MQTT_HOST=""
Same end result, just avoids adding that empty string to every command
