Config file ignored in kwargs of legacy API

Please describe the problem or feature

I am using the legacy API. My kwargs has a 'config' option with a config file. I find that the config file is not being used by flake8.

Currently [] is passed as the input to parse_configuration_and_cli in the legacy API get_style_guide here and then the kwargs options are applied afterwards. I think that applying the 'config' option after the call to parse_configuration_and_cli means that it is not used.

Please describe how you installed Flake8

$ pip3 install flake8

Using OS X 10.10.5.

Please provide the exact, unmodified output of flake8 --bug-report

I'm planning to sunset the legacy api and provide a newer api which resolves this -- stay tuned in #140
