Description

An organization may want to store their vouch file org-wide in something like a .github repository. We should support the ability for manage and check to point to an out-of-repo vouch file. I'm not 100% sure what this looks like from a flag perspective yet. Check will definitely be easier than manage.

These changes are only for the GitHub integration, since the library functions only operate on local files and that's fine.

Research direction

Start by tracing the GitHub integration paths for the manage and check commands, focusing on how each currently locates the local vouch file and exposes flags. Determine the flag shape for an out-of-repository file and verify that both commands can use an organization-wide file while library functions remain local-file-only.
