Ability to specify a type as "config|tree" for `/etc` so that all files are referenced in configfiles

[acabarbaye]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

currently, config type seems to only apply to individual files and according to schema cannot be used in addition to the tree type.

Describe the solution you'd like

the solution would be to introduce a new type config|tree which would combine the behaviour of each type: reproduce the tree structure and mark each files found as configuration file

Describe alternatives you've considered

the only alternative is to do this manually and reference every file as "config".

Just want to note that config|noreplace is practically required for RPM packages -- fpm defaults to %config(noreplace) for all RPM config files -- and so ideally should be supported with this new config|tree option. But since these are types (not flags) under the current implementation, that would result in a combinatorial explosion of types like config|tree|noreplace.
