Please add MPMISSIONS Switch for command line (Server)

Description

Currently MPMissions is always a subfolder of the main game. Defining to use a mission in a different directory / use a different directory as mpmissions, which would be even on a different drive would improve things drastically.

As example: I create a 4GB RAM Drive for DayZ Server, So worldsaves (in storage_X) get full speed.

Most of that holds the DayZ Installation, even tho it would suffice to put it on a harddrive.
Logs will soon eat up a lot of that diskspace as well.

If I could advice the server however to load missions from a different folder / Drive, i could separate the game from storage and profile folders.

Additional Information

Worldsaves work really well with RAM Drives, as it creates up to no corruption, except if the disk is full.

The game itself however does not benefit from having it on a RAM Drive in any way (maybe startup time, but other measured server performance stays the same)

In Linux I could use soft links but windows has only hard links, and doing it with RAM Drives is rather dangerous.

after a while of meditation, i think this can also be translated into defining a separate path/directory for the storage itself, aswell, which would maybe also solve the issue.

but as it is always in the mission folder itself, i am unsure, which solution is more universal or simpler.
