This modification allows to specify the source file in a "file" key for
complex targets. Using this key overrides the path deduced from the TOML
section header or the TOML key.
Examples:
```toml
[sway.files.fish]
file = "fish/conf.d/sway.fish"
target = "~/.config/fish/conf.d/sway.fish"
type = "symbolic"
```
```toml
[sway.files]
fish = { target = "~/.config/fish/conf.d/sway.fish", type = "symbolic", file = "fish/conf.d/sway.fish" }
```

Hey,
I like to mirror the structure of the config directory in my dotfiles, and I encountered an issue when I had to use a complex target. This problem was that my path couldn't be used as a toml section (
[sway.files."fish/conf.d/sway.fish"]). So I made the following change:-- Commit Body --
