Description

As part of our system configuration process, we currently manage load simulation settings within a JSON file. However, we often encounter scenarios where we need to dynamically adjust these settings based on specific requirements or test scenarios.

To improve flexibility and efficiency in configuring load simulations, it would be perfect to have the possibility of updating the LoadSimulationsSettings directly from command line arguments.

Research direction
The issue requests command line overrides for LoadSimulationsSettings currently defined in JSON. Investigate the project's existing configuration parsing (likely in src/NBomber/Configuration/) and CLI argument handling (see NBomber.CLI project). Consider how to merge JSON and CLI arguments without breaking existing behavior. The discussion in comments may propose specific approaches; refer to them for context.
