Centralise and expose configurable db views folder about scenic HOT 5 OPEN

@gap777: This library is actively, if sporadically, maintained by @calebhearth and I. We take a conservative approach to its maintenance, which has served us very well for over 8 years and more 23 million downloads. We implement features and fix bugs that we have confidence and familiarity with. We've occasionally strayed from this strategy and have often regretted that decision as we're left to support issues that arise in functionality we aren't experienced with.

A perusal of the issue tracker will show that there are some themes to some of the remaining issues which are helpfully denoted with labels. It's not that we don't want to fix these issues, it's that we want to fix them in a way we feel confident we can support for another 8 years.

In the case of this issue with view-paths , I'm hesitant to accept any pull request until we have #402 sorted. I do not want to implement a fix here only to discover it conflicts with, is superseded by, or diverges from patterns present in the official multi database support from Rails. I understand you may not want to wait for us to figure out #402. If you peruse the label I linked earlier, you'll see a couple of PRs open with various implementations that may suit your needs.

We also have this need, as we're building a modular monolith via packwerk, and each pack has it's own db/migrate directory. Can you reply to @hlascelles as to whether you would consider such a PR?

@derekprior what about PR #287?

That would address the issue here.

@derekprior what do you think of this proposal?

Would you be open to a PR for it?

@hlascelles would you open a PR? I'd like to see how you solved it. We may have to just fork this repo if its no longer maintained.
