The Array, Dictionary, and Namespace types provide a Freeze() method that makes them read-only. So far, there was the possibility to call some methods with `overrideFrozen=true` which would then bypass the corresponding check and allow modification of the data structures nonetheless. With 24b57f0d3a222835178e88489eabd595755ed883, this possibility was already removed from the Namespace type. However, for interface compatibility, it kept the parameter and just ignores it, throwing an exception on any modification on a frozen instance. The only place using `overrideFrozen` was processing of the `-D`/`--define` command line flag that allows setting additional variables in the DSL. At the time it is evaluated, there are no user-created data structures yet that could be frozen, so the only frozen objects that could be encountered are Namespaces (Icinga doesn't freeze other types by itself) and for these, `overrideFrozen` already has no effect. Hence, there is no harm in removing `overrideFrozen` altogether. This simplifies the code and also means that frozen objects are now indeed read-only without exceptions, allowing further optimizations regarding locking in the future.
