Research direction
Look at the existing configuration parsing in sanoid (likely in sanoid script). Identify where /etc/sanoid.conf is read. Implement a mechanism to read all .conf files from /etc/sanoid.conf.d/ and merge them with the main config. Consider ordering (e.g., alphabetical). For template support, examine how templates are currently handled (if any) and extend to allow template variables in the drop in files. Check for any existing discussion in the issue comments for additional details.
