Original task statement excerpt

v2.17.0 breaks custom_resource_config_file config option
**What happened**:

Updating to kube-state-metrics version 2.17.0 broke the `custom_resource_config_file` configuration option in `config.yaml`

**What you expected to happen**:

```
    custom_resource_config_file: "/etc/kube-state-metrics/custom-resource-config.yaml"
```

to be equivalent to 

```
--custom-resource-state-config-file=/etc/kube-state-metrics/custom-resource-config.yaml
```

like in prior versions.

**How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)**:

```bash
minikube start
...

helm install \
  cert-manager oci://quay.io/jetstack/charts/cert-manager \
  --version v1.19.1 \
  --namespace cert-manager \
  --create-namespace \
  --set crds.enabled=true
