Description

Currently, the only way to get pipreqs to work with a new mapping is to modify the mapping file and wait for a new release. Users should be able to specify a file that declares additional or override mappings. This file should use the same format as the existing mapping file. Inspired by #138.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the existing CLI argument parsing in pipreqs and how mappings are loaded. Design a flag to accept a user specified file for mapping overrides, ensuring it merges correctly with the default mappings.
