add multiple {--var (-v) NAME VALUE} arguments to the cli for introducing free format key value pairs to be available in the templates

cedricdcc commented 1 year ago

USECASE: I want to use pysubyt with a template that needs a configurable {{baseuri}} to be injected from the CLI. This feature should be available via the processor service / interface. Approach

Capture key, values from cli similar to set , use them to build a dict.
Allow dict to be passed to Generator.process
Use dict in JinjaBasedGenerator to augment the processing context

NOTE *Considering possible conflict of already existing keys in the template context

Do not prevent but warn end user

@cedricdcc core of the fix is in place -- can you or @bulricht follow up on (1) some testing to avoid regression in the future and (2) release (+ semver) to pypi ?

closing this one as there is already an issue for the implementation of tests: https://github.com/vliz-be-opsci/pysubyt/issues/42
