Use configuration file in home directory

[nirfse]

Please make flask-shell-ptpython apply configurations from ~/.ptpython/config.py in user's home directory.

I just tried the changes from #15 and I can confirm that it works.
If it is not sure which merge request to accept, please don't pick #9 - it uses some hard coded path for the configuration file and therefore won't work on macOS (ptpython configuration is somewhere below ~/Library/Application Support/..)

Please merge this very soon, I have a very fine tuned ptpython configuration and would like to use it in a flask shell as well.

@jacquerie I think a lot of us find this very useful! If you could merge #15 and get it on pip that'd be great-- let us know if you need help!

for anyone else who is as impatient as i am, this command will install PR #15 directly:

pip install --no-cache-dir git+https://github.com/maxnordlund/flask-shell-ptpython.git@patch-1

you might be able to leave the --no-cache-dir if you don't mess it up like 7 times before getting it right like i did.

NOTE: this doesn't seem to work with pip==21.3, but i can confirm it's working on pip==20.2.3.

@nirfse @mgd722
flask-shell always supported user custom config, we can use
pip install flask-shell[ptpython] to instead of flask-shell-ptpython, PR welcome.
