💡 Idea

As nearly all ntfy server commands (serve, token, user, ...) support specifying various settings via flags and environment variables I would love to see the same for the "client" commands (sub, pub).

The client default-host should also support being set via flag and environment variable

While looking around I've also noticed that the for ntfy pub NTFY_CONFIG can be used to point to a different config file, but ntfy sub doesn't support the NTFY_CONFIG environment variable.
