Reviewers

A common issue when running rb-site install in an automated setup (for
Docker instances or when using a tool like Chef) is that each new
install would get its own SECRET_KEY setting, requiring users to
override the resulting file.

To address this, a new --secret-key option has been added, which
allows the caller to provide an explicit key to use. This must be 50
characters or higher (matching what we generate ourselves). If this is
set, it will be used instead of generating a new key.

Tested creating a new site with and without --secret-key.

Tested the character length validation.
