Description

ZMK's build workflow allows customizing the config path and build matrix path. These values are currently hard coded in ZMK CLI. We should support changing those paths here too.

To avoid duplicate data, we could try to read from the GitHub workflow file, however that may not work if the user has replaced it with a custom workflow or is not using GitHub at all, so we may need to support something like a zmk.ini file in the root of the repo.

Research direction

Start by locating the ZMK CLI code that currently hard-codes the config path and build matrix path. Review how the build workflow exposes those values and determine a configuration approach that also works without GitHub; done means both paths can be customized without duplicate or workflow-only assumptions.
