Custom templates

[josegonzalez]

It would be great if you could throw pleaserun at a directory to set the files that it should template out. This would allow users to:

• override built-in templates (maybe I like doing my upstart scripts differently and need pids)
• prototype new platform support

Thoughts? I'm not sure quite how it would work, maybe "globbing" with exact name matching or similar?

I like the idea. Pleaserun already searches multiple locations for a given
template. Should be easy to add a configurable location for overrides and
extras.

Looks like we could just prepend a path here if specified as an arg. Not sure how to pull out the args and use them there, but maybe something like --template-path could work?
