Provide ability to specify where to find SSH configuration for STIG reporting

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

I've been pointed to documentation and told that currently the STIG check RACF-SH-000010 will default to /etc/ssh for the configuration file even though we start SSH pointing to a script in a different location that specifies a different path to the configuration file. 

So in the STC we have PARM='PGM /bin/sh -c /products_shared/prdhc/ssh/sshd.sh'

Then in the sshd.sh file we have:

export _ZOS_SSHD_CONFIG='/products_shared/prdhc/ssh/zos_sshd_config'
nohup /usr/sbin/sshd -f /products_shared/prdhc/ssh/sshd_config -o HostKeyRingLabel="\"SSHD#DVP/RINGPRDHC WFB.OPENSSH.DEV"\"

We would like for this check to either start at the PROC and 'figure' everything out from there 

or

allow us to specify where the script is and then have the check resolve configuration location and things like HostKeyRingLabel from the script so the check actually validates the configuration settings we are using instead of the default ones in the default location not being used.
