Research direction

Read the configuration section of kmscng/docs/user_guide.md, then search the C++ source for the hardcoded C:\Windows\KMSCNG\config.yaml path. Add the requested environment-variable override while preserving the existing default, and verify the configuration-loading behavior with the relevant tests or a local KMSCNG run.

Description

changes pending feature request

I have an application which tries to deal with the public key versions. I can load the correct version of a key to use dynamically. However, this application is not running as Administrator, so it cannot automatically create or edit files in C:\Windows\KMSCNG. Could you add an environment variable to allow overriding the hardcoded path to C:\Windows\KMSCNG\config.yaml described at https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kms-integrations/blob/master/kmscng/docs/user_guide.md#configuration ?

Thanks.
