Added a --server-override parameter, which will be used to specify a different server

address for when the server may need to provision boxen on different subnets that
therefore need different source URLs and so on.

This means cobbler will now be able to represent more than one server address for the same
cobbler machine.  WUI parts and backend changes to utilize this TBA shortly.
