patch

Fixed bug in backend-common to allow passing of remote option in order to enable passing remote url in --config option. The remote option should be passed along with reloadIntervalSeconds from packages/backend/src/index.ts (Updated the file as well)

These changes are needed in packages/backend/src/index.ts if remote URLs are desired to be passed in --config option and read and watch remote files for config.
