datumctl doesn't support colon separated file listings in the KUBECONFIG variables #47

Description

What task were you trying to complete?

Using datumctl

Describe the usability issue

The datumctl utility can't handle parsing KUBECONFIG if it uses colon-separated file listings. It interprets the entire string as a path, resulting in files with colons in their name.

Why was this confusing or difficult for you?

kubectl can do this and having multiple files in KUBECONFIG is a way that power users manage multiple kubeconfigs on a system.

Here's a link to their docs where they discuss using the functionality: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/configure-access-multiple-clusters/#append-home-kube-config-to-your-kubeconfig-environment-variable

What did you expect to happen instead? (Optional)

I expected datumctl to interact with my KUBECONFIG variable like kubectl does.

Do you have any suggestions for improvement? (Optional)
