Allow for specifying config file path.

Currently, the config for Atlas CLI lives in a specific directory defined by the tool: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/cli/stable/atlas-cli-save-connection-settings/#std-label-config-toml-location While the config can be both set by CLI and edited with `atlas config edit` command, both of those options are specific to the tool. As someone who uses multiple CLI tools, I prefer to have all my configs organized the way it works for me and not have to remember idiosyncratic configuration for one of the tools I'm using.

    Thank you for filing another idea! We appreciate your feedback and contribution. We’ll investigate internally what would it take to deliver the right experience to users to allow setting the path to the configuration file. In meantime, could you please share what would be the best way to configure the path to config file within the Atlas CLI from your perspective? Keep the ideas coming! Jakub
