Add force flag

If flag is passed the site will be created inside non-empty folder
only if there are no existent folders or config with the same name
hugo creates.

Resolves: #1163

What do you mean by "x,y,z"?

Also, could you get your commit message in line with the guidelines?

jww.FATAL.Fatalln(createpath, "already exists and is not empty")
}

if forceNew {
if err = os.RemoveAll(createpath); err != nil {

Remove all? That's a gotcha for most users using this flag.

Only if you pass force flag. Can make a backup

The flag help text says "create even if destination is not empty"". It says nothing about deleting stuff. And rightfully so.

I edited flag help text & commit message.
The variables inside the method were called "x", "y" and "z".
I renamed them to increase readability.

Should it make a backup before removing?

Hi @ns3777k,

I think even with the --force flag, it should not remove any files or directories.
If it needs to overwrite any existing files, e.g. an existing config.toml, it should either abort or prompt the end user what to do.

Otherwise, this --force that you currently have is a "killer"---no, an "assassin" command that may seem innocuous to the end user but end up having his/her entire home directory deleted when he/she mistakenly type hugo --force new site . when he/she happens to be in the home directory.

Agree with @anthonyfok No deletions. Not even after prompting the user. I do not want to be responsible for wiping out peoples stuff.

Edited so there's no prompt or deletion.
Think I should add a test 'cause the logic's become more complicated

@ns3777k Thanks for this. The users will really benefit from it. It would be great to have a test accompanying it since it has gotten a bit complex.

If flag is passed the site will be created inside non-empty folder
only if there are no existent folders or config with the same name
hugo creates.
