[Bug]: `step ca init` with `--pki` ignores `--context` flag
Steps to Reproduce
step ca init --context abc --pki --name="Tiny" --deployment-type standalone
Your Environment
- OS - macOS
stepCLI Version - 0.27.2
Expected Behavior
Even if it doesn't create a full context,
I expected it to write to $(step path)/authorities/abc/...
OR, it could error. Perhaps --context (and --profile and --authority) aren't compatible with --pki?
Actual Behavior
It writes to $(step path).
Additional Context
Full example with the --pki flag:
$ export STEPPATH=/tmp
$ step ca init --context abc --pki --name="Tiny" --deployment-type standalone

What DNS names or IP addresses will clients use to reach your CA?
✔ (e.g. ca.example.com[,10.1.2.3,etc.]): ca.example.com
What IP and port will your new CA bind to? (:443 will bind to 0.0.0.0:443)
✔ (e.g. :443 or 127.0.0.1:443): :443
What would you like to name the CA's first provisioner?
✔ (e.g. [email protected]): [email protected]
