Add storage path as a config option

[MindFreeze]

Problem/Motivation

Currently I can't find a way to store influxdb data on an external drive, except forking the addon.

Proposed changes

It would be great if I could specify a directory for the data. Then I could mount an external drive somewhere in share and use that for InfluxDB. This method is proposed here https://www.home-assistant.io/hassio/external_storage/
Something like this:

    "log_level": "info",
    ...
    data_path: "/share/influxdb"

Another option is to just use share instead of /data with a fixed directory name, but I think a config option is more flexible.

The link you send is not mounting a USB stick in that location, so that is not an option / would not help.
Hass.io exposes a data folder to each add-on, which is, of course, used. I think it would make much more sense if Hass.io actually supported the storage of add-on data on other locations instead of making this kind of "hacky" solutions.

Hence, I'm closing this issue.
