Support for customizing the directory of all configuration files

[M09Ic]

I don't have write access to the home directory in particular environment, but I didn't find any flag to custom .templates-config.json file. So, I would like to customize the directory for all configuration files. Like, -config-directory /tmp/nuclei/

Hi, Just in case, you can do something like export HOME='/tmp' && nuclei ... to get around the fact that HOME is not defined, I use this technique and it works :)

Indeed, it works. Hopefully nuclei will provide a more elegant solution than hard-coding the config file path.

I tried to fix the problem by modifying the code myself, but it required multiple changes and could have caused unpredictable bugs, so I did not submit this pr.

• Add a new command line flag:

    -config-directory Override the default config path ($home/.config)

• Create follow up tickets to allow execution when there are no write permission to .config folder (use in memory default values and download nuclei-templates to /tmp if not provided/found/writeable)

@M09Ic @JoshuaMart this is now supported in the latest version of nuclei, -config-directory flag can be used to override the default config path.
