I'll add a way to set a different key size when doing init. In the mean time,
the workaround is to generate a new set of RSA keys after the init.

Tinc does use getopt, but it doesn't read default key sizes from a config file.
Keep in mind that the "init" command is normally run when you don't have any
config files to start with.
