Add option to allow `--override-k` to be passed to chia to enable easier low-k testing plots #186

Quicker plots could be useful to be able to run through workflows

From chat:

altendky: last time i did that i hacked it into the plotman source. we should grow an option for that though.

Worth making sure this will actually be supported by chia-blockchain in the future

thesargonas: I think the ability to even plot k25s is going away soon? i could be wrong

As long as chia plots create --override-k -k 25 is valid, I'm good with having this added in some form. Perhaps we should have a plotman cli option to override the config? And the config is only allowed to create valid plots. So, to create invalid plots you have to plotman interactive --override-k -k 25 or such. It seems like this would make you a bit less likely to accidentally plot a few terabytes of worthless k25s.

i hacked this in once too.

making it a command line option sounds fine. i also think plotman interactive should grow a "warning" section somewhere, so we could also add a warning when plotman is creating k25s.

this could be something worthwhile to use the chia plotter in oonjunction with plotman to make k29 plots for the chives fork.
