Add the --no-verify flag to kustomize localize

[annasong20]

Eschewed features

• This issue is not requesting templating, unstuctured edits, build-time side-effects from args or env vars, or any other eschewed feature.

What would you like to have added?

Currently, the kustomize localize command does not give users the option to automatically run kustomize build to verify the localized copy before command return. This feature is documented in the command's KEP.

We would like to give users the option to specify the --no-verify flag for kustomize localize. When not specified, kustomize localize should run kustomize build on both the source Kustomization and localized copy and compare their output. When specified, the command should only localize, without running kustomize build.

Why is this needed?

This feature is needed to graduate kustomize localize to beta, as stated in the KEP.

Can you accomplish the motivating task without this feature, and if so, how?

It was agreed upon in the KEP that this feature would be a nice convenience to users.

What other solutions have you considered?

The localization works without this feature, but this helps users avoid the need to run kustomize localize, then kustomize build themselves to check.

Anything else we should know?
