Xavier Morel 22e18e752b [ADD] runbot_merge: allow overriding statuses
Adds an `override` mergebot command. The ability to override is set on
an individual per-context per-repository basis, similar to but
independent from review rights. That is, a given individual may be
able to override the status X on repository A and unable to do so on
repository B.

Overrides are stored in the same format as regular statuses, but
independent from them in order to persist them across builds.

Only PR statuses can be overridden, statuses which are overridable on
PRs would simply not be required on stagings.

An alternative to implementing this feature in the mergebot would be
to add it to individual status-generating tools on a per-need
basis.

Pros of that alternative:

* display the correct status on PRs, currently the PR will be failing
  status-wise (on github) but correct as far as the mergebot is
  concerned
* remove complexity from the mergebot

Cons of that alternative:

* each status-generating tool would have to implement some sort of ACL
  system
* each status-generating tool would have to receive & parse PR
  comments
* each status-generating tool would have to maintain per-pr state in
  order to track overrides

Some sort of helper library / framework ought make that rather easy
though. It could also be linked into the central provisioning system
thing.

Closes #376
