Support custom extension parameters on command line

[Bilge]

At the moment we can only specify custom parameters in the XML config. I propose we also allow specifying the same on the command line. Of course, the naive solution presents a problem where extensions may register names that conflict with (future) PHPUnit parameters, but I propose all such extension parameters be double-prefixed: first with a global extension prefix (x) and then with a custom prefix they register themselves.

For example, my printer, Pip, may register the pip prefix and then it can be passed command-line arguments in the form:

--x-pip-my-param='my value'

The extension registering the pip prefix will receive all command-line arguments so prefixed with --x-pip- automatically.
