Allow specifying alternative paths for reading/writing flake locks

This allows having multiple separate lockfiles for a single
project, which can be useful for testing against different versions of
nixpkgs; it also allows tracking custom input overrides for remote
flakes without requiring local clones of these flakes.

For example, if I want to build Nix against my locally pinned nixpkgs,
and have a lock file tracking this override independently of future
updates to said nixpkgs:

nix flake lock --output-lock-file /tmp/nix-flake.lock --override-input nixpkgs flake:nixpkgs
nix build --reference-lock-file /tmp/nix-flake.lock
