main: add flags to override config files

Add --aerc-conf, --binds-conf and --accounts-conf CLI flags, which
respectively override the default aerc.conf, binds.conf and
accounts.conf configuration files. If the specified files do not exist
or cannot be read, exit with an error.

Implements: https://todo.sr.ht/~rjarry/aerc/209
