Add a command line flag to accept all prompts to enable scripted execution

[kennsippell]

Scripts that use medic-conf to automate deployments hang waiting on the following input:

We can't determine if you're going to overwrite someone else's changes or not. Would you like to proceed? [y/n]:

This experience is great when there is a user present but for automated scripts (travis, CI pipelines, etc) medic-conf should support an option to --force the deployment and --unattended exit with an error isntead of prompting the user.

One example is LG's CI pipeline. This experience is incompatible with their pipeline and will effectively block their upgrade to 3.8.1 since medic-conf 3.1 is required to work with that version of the core.

For AT: medic-conf has a --force argument now that bypasses user input. Test that using the normal user input works y, n, 1,2,3 options and test that passing --force makes medic-conf upload docs, forms, creates-users, move-contacts, overwrites changes without further prompting.

The branch is 307_force_arg in medic-conf. Details about executing medic-conf through local source is here.

This isn't a bug because the code is working as intended. Added to 3.11.0 and assigned to Nick because he's already working on it.

Looks good with the y/n prompt. However, with the other prompt [1,2,3], there are instances where the prompt appears twice. In that case, only the first one is overridden by --force, the second prompt still appears and requires manual input. Did you wanna have a second look @newtewt ?

@ngaruko I'm struggling to reproduce this. Can you provide more detail about how your setup and what state your instance was in?

[ngaruko]

@newtewt Will put detail on that. Also was reported here with #113

[ngaruko]

Couldn't replicate. I guess we can close it off - assume I made a mistake and tested while still on master . Then we will catch it in automation, if it occurs!
