[Bug 79157] RFE: support local clue files

Public bug reported:

It would be useful to be able to read in local clue files in addition to
or instead of the bundled ones.

Many triagers will use bughelper in a semi-interactive way, inventing
clues as they go along sifting bugs. Some of these may be generally
useful, others not.

bughelper -r mycluefile.info packagename

could read the contents of my clue file and process it together with the
standard one for the package, while

-R mycluefile.info

would use only that local clue file and skip the standard one.

This would also allow for a fairly efficient and tidy way of adding to
the global bug info data. Once a triages has made a clue or set of clues
that he/she thinks might be useful to others it can be uploaded as an
attachment to a bug in malone for bughelper and the maintainers can roll
it in at their leisure.
