Description
Benthos in a Lambda allows setting config via the BENTHOS_CONFIG envvar. It would be good if this could be used outside of a lambda. I want to use it in ECS and mounting a file is a pain.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing Lambda handling for the BENTHOS_CONFIG environment variable and trace how configuration is loaded. Extend the behavior to work outside Lambda, including ECS-style deployments, and add or update tests that verify configuration can be supplied through the environment variable without mounting a file.
