Add a small section to document how to use SCX_SCHEDULER_OVERRIDE and
SCX_FLAGS_OVERRIDE with the scx systemd service.

Also fix a small typo (namspace -> namespace).

## Override global configuration
It is possible to override the global scx settings using systemd environment
variables `SCX_SCHEDULER_OVERRIDE` and `SCX_FLAGS_OVERRIDE`.
Example:
```
systemctl set-environment SCX_SCHEDULER_OVERRIDE=scx_rustland
systemctl set-environment SCX_FLAGS_OVERRIDE="-s 10000"
systemctl restart scx
```
## Checking Journald Logs
The SCX schedulers do not log to the default journald namspace. Instead, they save logs in a dedicated ```sched-ext``` namespace.
