Add $FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS_FILE (#3618)

For those who prefer to manage default options in a file.
If the file is not found, fzf will exit with an error.

We're not setting a default value for it because:

1. it's hard to find a default value that can be universally agreed upon
2. to avoid fzf having to check for the existence of the file even when it's not used
