Research direction

Examine the referenced file php/class ee site letsencrypt.php around lines 458-467 to understand which values are hardcoded (likely the ACME directory URI). Then review the existing 'ee config' command (issue #1168) to see how configuration values are stored and retrieved. Implement an interactive prompt during certificate request to ask for these values, or hook into the config system. Test by running the command with various inputs and verifying configuration is stored correctly.
