[bep] Add /config dir support This commit adds support for a configuration directory (default `config`). The different pieces in this puzzle are: * A new `--environment` (or... by bep on 08:28AM - 15 Nov 18 UTC changed 36 files with 901 additions and 184 dele…

An observation I made while using the -e flag with one of my build pipelines: if the environment is set with hugo -e it can’t be accessed with getenv "HUGO_ENVIRONMENT". So the docs should make it clear that getenv can only access system environment variables and not the internal one.

Thx!, Yes maybe it’s better to dump them inside `/data/ indeed. Cheers! Marcel
