query: allow forcing overwrite of existing folder
Currently, when using :query the user is forced to create a new folder
for every query, since aerc doesn't allow overwriting an existing
folder. Actually, "overwriting" an existing folder with a query is
a non-destructive operation in the sense, that the underlying maildir is
not touched, the only thing lost is the state in aerc. The current
behaviour doesn't allow for a simple `:query -n query ` type of binding.
Allow overwriting an existing folder with the -f flag.
Changelog-added: Allow using existing directory name with `:query -f`.
