Make --network accept a file argument and add a --flake flag

To make it possible to keep multiple network definitions in the same
directory, make the `--network` flag accept a file in addition to a
directory. Also, add a corresponding `--flake` flag and create short
flags for both (`-n` and `-f` respectively).
