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.

This may be thought of as chosing a role for a specific system. Note that if provisioning via koan and PXE menus alone, it is not required to create system records, though they are useful when system specific customizations are required.
