Description

One of the tests that is useful to perform is a --dry-run of the release candidate script. However, this currently always pulls from that master branch of the apache/daffodil repo. Sometimes it is useful to do that on a different branch of a different repo before things are merged, such as with pull requests.

We should change the release candidate script so that you can specify an alternative repo/branch when running a --dry-run. When not doing a dry-run, it should still always build from apache/daffodil@master.
