this flag prevents backup files from being kept on package installation.
This is useful for resetting a package's config files back to their
original state.
Implements FS#59908 although with it's own flag name instead of reusing
nosave. This allows nokeep to optionally create a pacnew that you can
then choose to disable by also setting nosave.

I actually very dislike NOKEEP but it was the best I could come up with
I would have prefered overwrite or nosave but they are taken. Better
names are welcome.
Do we really need a flag for this.
rm <backup file>
pacman -S <package>
or even
pacman -Sw package
tar xf <pkg> <file>
