💡 Idea
Two parts of this idea:

Add a CLI parameter added to webpush keys to not print the generated keys but write a file that contains the public & private key components. (JSON? YAML?)
Add a new parameter to serve to be able to read the file instead of needing to pass it literally.

💻 Target components
The server

This is a dup of https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1492 and https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1255 (related).

You can put the webpush keys in the server.yml file or in env variables. No need to pass them via --serve. You can scope the server.yml file permissions appropriately.
