[Bug 1342818] [NEW] add an option --override-control to override a test control file

Wed Jul 16 16:23:48 UTC 2014

Public bug reported:

It'd be useful to have an option --override-control=<path> to override a
test control file (manifest.json for click packages) to quickly check
changes in a test (restrictions, deps, ...) without having to rebuild
everything.
