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 Changelog-added: CLI flags to override paths to config files.

There are three aerc config files: _aerc.conf_, _binds.conf_, and
_accounts.conf_. The last one must be kept secret, as it may include your
account credentials. We look for these files in your XDG config home plus
-_aerc_, which defaults to _~/.config/aerc_.
+_aerc_, which defaults to _~/.config/aerc_. Alternate files can be specified via
+command line arguments, see *aerc*(1).
Examples of these config files are typically included with your installation of
aerc and are usually installed in _/usr/share/aerc_.
