Add support for multiple configuration files

[Waterstraal]

At the moment Testcafé supports a single .testcaferc.json file. However, I have different needs in a c.i. environment than I have on my local machine for example. In my c.i. environment I have a need for the xunit reporter, multiple browsers and video recording for example, which I don't need locally.

The api could look like this:
testcafe --config .testcaferc-dev.json
testcafe --config .testcaferc-test.json

.testcaferc-dev.json:

{
  "browsers": "chrome",
  "reporter": "list"
}

.testcaferc-test.json:

{
  "browsers": [
    "chrome",
    "firefox",
    "edge"
  ],
  "reporter": [
    {
      "name": "xunit",
      "output": "reports/testcafe_tests.xml"
    },
    {
      "name": "html",
      "output": "reports/index.html"
    }
  ],
  "screenshotPath": "reports/screenshots",
  "takeScreenshotsOnFails": true,
  "videoPath": "reports/videos",
  "videoOptions": {
    "singleFile": true,
    "failedOnly": false,
    "pathPattern": "${USERAGENT}/${FILE_INDEX}.mp4"
  },
}

Aside from this, I would also need a different baseUrl for each environment in my DTAP street so adding baseUrl to the config and having the option to pass in the config file to testcafé would be very nice. Sadly baseUrl is currently not part of the configuration yet.

Thank you for your suggestion regarding the support for multiple configuration files. We received a similar request earlier and will consider implementing this feature in the context of this issue:

#3428.

As for the baseUrl feature, is not a part of our roadmap. We will appreciate it if you get a chance to contribute this feature to our project. We will certainly help you in implementing this feature.
