Instead of just using the default config file, one may also find useful to
specify which configuration file would like to use without editing the config
file, like this:

$ ./check --config=tests_nvme
...
$ ./check -c tests_scsi

This pull request solves this. This change means to be optional, in the sense
that the default behavior should not be modified and current setups will not be
affect by this. To check if this is true, I have done the following test:

- Print the value of variables $DEVICE_ONLY, $QUICK_RUN, $TIMEOUT,
  $RUN_ZONED_TESTS, $OUTPUT, $EXCLUDE
  
- Run with the following setups:
    - with a config file in the dir
    - without a config file in the dir
    - configuring using command line arguments

With both original code and with my changes, I validated that the values
remained the same. Then, I used the argument --config=test_config to check that
the values of variables are indeed changing.

This patchset add this feature, update the docs and fix a minor issue with a
command line argument. Also, I have changed "# shellcheck disable=SC1091" to
"# shellcheck source=/dev/null", since it seems the proper way to disable this
check according to shellcheck documentation[1].

Thanks,
André

Thanks, applied! I had to rework it a bit so that command line options
would still take precedence over the configuration file, but it should
work now.
