* Add load from user config in XDG_CONFIG_HOME if available (#672)
* Add load from user config from in XDG_CONFIG_HOME if available
This update introduces the flexibility to load the configuration file from
multiple locations, prioritizing user preferences and system standards.
Previously, the configuration was strictly read from a hardcoded
system path (`/etc/auto-cpufreq.conf`). Now, the application first checks if the
user has specified a configuration file path via command line arguments. If not,
it looks for a configuration file in the user's config
directory (`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/auto-cpufreq/auto-cpufreq.conf`). If neither is
found, it defaults to the original system-wide configuration file.
This allows users to add their auto-cpufreq configuration to their dotfiles.
* If --config is set but invalid, exit with error
* Remove redundant empty string check on config file path
* Remove duplicate isfile check for config path
