feat: add dynamic config for CryptPad exporter
Introduce support for configuring the CryptPad Prometheus exporter via environment variables and command line arguments. This enhancement moves away from the previous method that required direct modifications to the source code, offering a more flexible and user-friendly approach for setting the pins directory and server port. By enabling dynamic configuration, users can more easily adapt the exporter to various environments without altering the codebase. The update includes parsing arguments at runtime and prioritizing command line inputs over environment variables for greater control.

This change also encompasses improvements to code readability and structure, including better error handling and documentation within the exporter script.
