parseConfig should optionally accept an object, instead of reading from the filesystem

I'm currently trying to deploy GraphQL Mesh on @zeit Now as a Next.js API route. No matter where I place the .meshrc.yaml, it can't be found.

[POST] /api/mesh

I also tried to deploy it out as a standalone function on @zeit Now and even when I could confirm the file was present, it still couldn't find the config.

[POST] /api/mesh

.meshrc.json
mesh.js
mesh.js.map

It would be helpful for serverless scenarios to allow passing the config object into parseConfig directly. This would also enable the use of ENV_VARS for secrets, such as API Keys.

Ran into the same issues getting started. Had a hard time getting parseConfig to find my config file, and then realized I wouldn't be able to use it with different environment variables. Happy to help out in any way.

I confirmed the changes made by @ardatan were good and will be releasing a write-up of how I've deployed Mesh as a gateway on Zeit Now and consumed it as a hasura remote schema later today.

@stephengfriend Nice, did you end up doing the writeup somewhere? Would be great to checkout how you accomplished that. Thanks
