Override Helmsman context name from CMD flags using --context-override

There are two main use cases for this flag:

1. To speed up Helmsman's execution when you have too many release (see issue #418) This flag works by skipping the search for the context information which Helmsman adds in the form of labels to the helm release state (secrets/configmaps).

   Use this option with caution. You must be sure that this won't cause conflicts.

2. [Not recommended] If ,for whatever reason, you want to temporarily override the context defined on the release state (in labels on secrets/configmaps) with something. Use --migrate-context instead to permanently rename your context
