Make profile directory configurable

[xaverdh]

Also /var/lib/tailord may be a better default than /etc/tailord, since these files are generated by the tools and not really 'static' configuration.

How would you suggest to implement this? Should we make this a compile-time constant, a CLI argument or just try to automatically detect config files from different locations?

I think a cli argument / env variable is more flexible. Detecting config files raises the question of what to do if both exist.

An env variable could (/should?) be named after the XDG Specification, that is XDG_CONFIG_DIRS (multiple entries, separate by :; akin to PATH).

Although that still does not resolve the question, which location is to be preferred 🤔
