Description

Would it be possible to set a custom error message?

Perhaps a project could have a text file or config file that it passes as a string to human-panic's sourcing of its text.

This would also fix https://github.com/rust-clique/human-panic/issues/7#issuecomment-383035397.

Research direction

Start by tracing human-panic's current sourcing of its text and inspect how a project could provide a string from a text or config file. Review the discussion linked from issue 7 for the related requirement. Done means projects can supply a custom error message and the existing panic output uses it correctly.
