Description

Related to #15828, a standard method to search configuration files would be nice.

We (naruse and nobu) talked about it and agreed on Etc.config_file

To load a config file as Ruby script:

Etc.config_file(basename) {|path| load(path) rescue nil}

or just search the file:

file = Etc.config_file

basename will be defaulted to the base name of the program name,$0.

A flag to write new file:

Etc.config_file(create: true) {|f| FileUtils.mdir_p(File.basename(f)); File.write(f, content)}

I can't say much about the API/name but the functionality looks useful/good in my opinion.
