Subject: [PATCH] Make local-evaluation overridable at runtime

Adds an environment variable `LP_LOCAL_EVALUATION` which overrides
`lollypops.deployment.local-evaluation` at runtime.

Use case: Sometimes I'm deploying from my main workstation which is
more powerful than the servers, so building locally makes sense. Other
times I'm deploying from my crappy ARM laptop which is barely capable of
building itself. I'd like to switch from one to the other without having
to modify the flake of my system.
