Add `api_key_file`

Feature is available but this extends or adds extra functionality

If I'm not understanding it wrong it's currently only possible to provide the API key by setting it in the config file.
However, it would be nice to have an option, something like api_key_file, where the key can be read from a file.

Why is this needed?

My dotfiles are public and the encryption setup puts my secrets into files which are accessible during runtime.
So this would be really nice to have :)

Hi,

You can add a config file on top the already existing one named config.yaml.local. All values in this file will override the standard one. It's the same as this feature: https://docs.crowdsec.net/docs/next/configuration/crowdsec_configuration#overriding-values

Hm... well that could work but that feels more like a hack than an "actual solution".
Because then I'd have to encrypt this extra-config file and create a symbolic link from its decrypted form to the given place.
