#### Description Added the possibility to specify an alternative file different from the default: `kamailio.cfg`, when starting `kamailio`, using the `kamctl` tool. This makes it possible to start `kamailio` by passing a startup file located in a specific folder (via `ETCDIR` env variable) and with a specific name, instead of using the default name: `kamailio.cfg`.

Several local tests have been performed and it has been verified that it is now possible to perform the basic start/stop/restart operations of `kamailio` via `kamctl`, considering the use of a startup file other than the default: `kamailio.cfg`.

Example of `.kamctlrc` used:

```sh ETCDIR="/etc/my-component/confs" RPCFIFOPATH="/run/my-component/my-component_rpc.fifo" PID_FILE="/run/my-component/my-component.pid" STARTUP_CONFIG_FILE="starter.cfg" STARTOPTIONS="-m 512 -M 64 -u user -g group" ```

Tested on `CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)`.

I think this change will be interesting for many users.

Thanks
