Set instance or server configuration keys

## Synopsis
```{line-block}

Description:
  Set instance or server configuration keys

  For backward compatibility, a single configuration key may still be set with:

```
```
incus config set [<remote>:][<instance>] <key>=<value>... [flags]
```

## Examples

```
  incus config set [<remote>:]<instance> limits.cpu=2
      Will set a CPU limit of "2" for the instance.

  incus config set core.https_address=[::]:8443
      Will have the server listen on IPv4 and IPv6 port 8443.
```
