Introducing --overwrite option

Browse Source 
Sometimes it is needed to overwrite existing output files.
This has been requested in the past (#927). For safety reasons
it was not implemented.

However I realized that it could be useful. It requires some
responsible usage though.

Code added, help() and manpages added -- warnings added too.

\fB\-\-severity <severity>\fR For CSV and both JSON outputs this will only add findings to the output file if a severity is equal or higher than the \fBseverity\fR value specified\. Allowed are \fB<LOW|MEDIUM|HIGH|CRITICAL>\fR\. WARN is another level which translates to a client\-side scanning error or problem\. Thus you will always see them in a file if they occur\.

\fB\-\-append\fR Normally, if an output file already exists and it has a file size greater zero, testssl\.sh will prompt you to manually remove the file exit with an error\. \fB\-\-append\fR however will append to this file, without a header\. The environment variable APPEND does the same\. Be careful using this switch/variable\. A complementary option which overwrites an existing file doesn\'t exist per design\.

\fB\-\-outprefix <fname_prefix>\fR Prepend output filename prefix \fIfname_prefix\fR before \'${NODE}\-\'\. You can use as well the environment variable FNAME_PREFIX\. Using this any output files will be named \fB<fname_prefix>\-${NODE}\-p${port}${YYYYMMDD\-HHMM}\.<format>\fR when no file name of the respective output option was specified\. If you do not like the separator \'\-\' you can as well supply a \fB<fname_prefix>\fR ending in \'\.\', \'_\' or \',\'\. In this case or if you already supplied \'\-\' no additional \'\-\' will be appended to \fB<fname_prefix>\fR\.
