Add support of encfs config file stored in arbitrary location

[CoolSpot]

By default EncFS reads config file named ".encfs6.xml" from the encrypted directory.
Gnome Encfs Manager allows user to use config file stored anywhere (Configure stash -> Advanced... -> encfs_config_file).
EncFS CLI accepts environment variable ENCFS6_CONFIG for custom config file location.

This might be a safer approach for situation when EncFS is used over potentially vulnerable storage, such as Dropbox.

I can't see how I can make zuluMount to use EncFS config located in another directory.

Do you know about SiriKali?[1]. Its my project and it can already do what you want.

Will add the ability shortly.

SiriKali looks good, thank you very much!
Even though it has option to use external config, it doesn't work well with EncFS version 1.9.2 because there was no "--config" flag before version 1.9.5 .
EncFS version 1.9.2 is the default version in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Linux Mint 19 repositories.

Latest[1] released version of SiriKali supports this. You can get a binary version of SiriKali from here[2] if you can't/don't want to build from source.
