The runner doesn't have to use MiniAccumuloConfig, it could be using the
MiniAccumuloConfigImpl which would get around that concern. For more context,
we are very hesitant about putting new things into our public API. Every
method/class in the public API increases our API compatibility debt. If it's
not needed for user functionality, we tend to err on the side of not including
things to make maintaining our compatibility easier.
