Description

add support similar to http://wcm.io/config/core/override-providers.html

this is esp. useful for test/QA systems where a bunch of content and configuration packages are imported from the production system, and only a few of them need to be overwritten e.g. ip addresses, host names.

these override providers should not be active by default. perhaps they should go into a separate package - but we need the SPI for them in the core implementation.

this is somewhat related to SLING-6058

information about overriding that is in place should be provided in the Configuration Management API (ConfigurationManager) as well.
