minimal code change to allow the skin to be overriden by an environment variable
K9S_SKIN.config.ui.skin overwrites the default, context.skin overwrites the config setting, and K9S_SKIN overwrites the context setting. all of these are optional.
among others, this enables a use case where the active shell session can influence the k9s skin to distinguish between different clusters, without having to manually manage many per-cluster, per-context config files.
this solves #1909 and a couple related issues.
i have verified functionality and it works as desired.
@derailed please let me know if there are any changes required to get this merged, thanks!
