feat: optionally pull config from a custom file (envvar), default to data path.

[fire833]

This PR is related to #553, it simply gives the option to override the config location with the SOFT_SERVE_CONFIG_LOCATION (and checks that a file exists there), otherwise defaults to looking in the config path. Let me know if you have any comments or concerns.

Hey, I'm no maintainer here but it would be great if the new environment variable would be also documented somehow in the readme of the project. Maybe you can add it there? :)

[fire833]

are there any updates on this?
