Description

With the potential ballooning in size of snakebids apps CLIs, plus the difficulty of setting `pybids` filters via CLI, it would be useful to be able to specify a config file to be passed to the app (similar to `fMRIPrep`'s `--config-file`. This is especially relevant for dockerized apps, where the shipped config cannot be directly modified with any ease.

Probably this can directly use `--configfile` from Snakebids, although I'd need to look into exactly how this would work. I'll post more details as they come.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Snakebids' CLI handling and how Snakemake's --configfile option could be exposed. Define the behavior for passing a config file to an app, including dockerized use, and verify that the resulting CLI supports the requested workflow.
