Add support for a configuration file that can contain the patterns, etc. and be included in the repo is desired.

It would be very useful to support a config file, that can be pointed at (--config=./git-secrets.yaml), which can contain all configuration settings, including patterns. This way it can be included in the repo (if desired) and run via tools like pre-commit in a way that guarantees that the tool is configured properly, without requiring extra git config. This is especially useful in a CI/CD workflow.

You can create a file called .secret.patterns in the root directory and add the regex into it. After run this command git secrets --add-provider -- cat .secret.patterns to add the patterns to git config.
