[ENH] jupyter-book config sphinx --output-dir

[parmentelat]

this PR adds an option to jupyter-book config sphinx to select another folder for resulting conf.py

my use case: I have a rather big repo that ends up into 2 separate books https://github.com/flotpython/exos (admittedly this should be cut into pieces but that's another story...)

the jupyter-book stuff (config and tocs) are stored in a separate folder jb/ for clarity I can produce the 2 books locally easily enough

but when trying to move to readthedocs.io, I made many various attempts on how to layout things and call jb config sphinx but I'm running into a wall and it looks like my life would be way easier if the resulting conf.py ended up at the toplevel

so I figured, this change here looks innocuous enough, and it would help greatly to achieve this rtd migration, that I can't seem to provide otherwise
