Piping to goss render

[surskitt]

Describe the feature: Just like how useful it is to be able to pipe a file to goss validate, especially when running tests over ssh, it would be extremely useful to be able to generate a gossfile for goss render to use.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd expect to just be able to generate my own gossfile and pipe to goss render. Imagine a script like this:

for h in host; do
    (
        echo "gossfile:"
        echo "  common.yaml:{}"
        if [[ -f "${h}.yaml" ]]; then
            echo "  ${h}.yaml: {}"
        fi
    ) | goss render -g - | ssh "${h}" goss -g - validate
done

To include the .yaml tests if they exist but only common.yaml if they don't.

Describe alternatives you've considered I tried looking into the templating engine included, but I think checking for the existence of files and things like that is outside of its feature set.
