Feature request: Optional flag to disable authorizer for "sam local start-api"

[mikepianka]

Describe your idea/feature/enhancement

Being able to test API Gateway authorizers locally when running sam local start-api is a great new feature. However, I think it would be helpful to be able to pass an optional flag at the command line to disable the authorizer for local testing.

Proposal

Add an optional flag to disable API Gateway authorizers like sam local start-api --disable-authorizer

Things to consider:

1. Will this require any updates to the SAM Spec

Additional Details

Hi @mildaniel @mikepianka I've done an implementation. It's currently in a draft but it should satisfy this issue just fine :)
