Dockerfile flexibility

[rosano]

The docs describe alternative Dockerfile names:

If your project already has a Dockerfile, name the Cloudron-specific Dockerfile Dockerfile.cloudron or cloudron/Dockerfile.

It would be nice to just set a custom path as my project targets multiple panels and I would like to keep them in one directory to declutter the root folder. Ideal to specify something like:

deploy/cloudron/Dockerfile
