Description
With #8609 merged, it doesn't appear to be possible to change the default wallet path with
electrum setconfig wallet_path /custom/wallet/path
This works just fine prior to that change, with the obvious effect, even though I don't see the setting being defined in the explicit list of configuration options.
Would it be possible to consider adding support for this configuration options? Our use case is running electrum in a docker container with the wallet stored in an obviously noticeable volume that's not in a dot-directory in a homedir, without the need to explicitly specify the path in every single RPC call.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the change in #8609 and the handling of the electrum setconfig wallet_path /custom/wallet/path command. Done means a custom wallet path can be set through configuration and remains usable for a wallet stored at the specified Docker volume path.
