Add force option

[mikepqr]

This should force the creation of symlinks on install.

It should delete whatever file is in the expected location on uninstall.

It should probably not delete non-empty directories on uninstall.

Here's an idea: If the symlink target is under version control and it is checked in, I think it is more interesting to have an option to force-move the current inhabitant of the symlink location into the git repository and then create the symlink as normal. This should emit a warning and at the end a helpful suggestion for what to do about it. "review the differences; restore the file to the original, or edit and commit the changes".

That would be a useful feature for some (maybe most?) users, but I am personally not planning to modify this tool to use or assume the existence of any particular version control system. It's a tool for making symlinks.

I have made a fork here, currently for my own benefit only. Let me know if you would like a PR.

Interesting! I like that you were able to break these improvements down into features that do/do not depend on version control. I'll take a closer look asap.
