Multiple configuration files

[dokempf]

Thanks for this extension! I have written a Python package which ships with an entrypoint to install the jupyter_app_launcher config into the respective Jupyter data directories. For conda-forge packaging, this will happen already during package build, so that installing my conda package will directly show me the icons in the launcher. I really like this approach for my use case, but I have one problem with it: If for some reason, some other package would do the exact same trick, one would overwrite the other's config.

A solution to this would be to not fix the name of the configuration file to config.yml, but only fix its location to PREFIX/jupyter_app_launcher. The code discovering the config file would then need to glob the path for potential configuration files and use all of them. What do you think?

Thanks for your suggestion, indeed this a great idea!. I will implement it in the next version, which is blocked by jupyterhub/jupyter-server-proxy#419
