Description
Hello
How do I load a user config file if it exists?
Let's say that I want to allow people to have a .my-service.json in the root folder of their project, or even in their home folder. How to say to yarns:
"The user defaults are stored somewhere in a file named 'my-service.json', if you find some, please load it..." ?
Thanks in advance !

No file, test, or implementation entry point is named. Start by locating yargs's existing configuration-loading behavior, then clarify the supported search locations and precedence for project and home-directory files; done requires an agreed behavior and documentation or tests describing it.
