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.

<p><code>--severity &lt;severity></code> For CSV and both JSON outputs this will only add findings to the output file if a severity is equal or higher than the <code>severity</code> value specified. Allowed are <code>&lt;LOW|MEDIUM|HIGH|CRITICAL></code>. 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.</p>
<p><code>--append</code> 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. <code>--append</code> 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.</p>

<p><code>--overwrite</code> Normally, if an output file already exists and it has a file size greater zero, testssl.sh will not allow you to overwrite this file. This option will do that <b>without any warning</b>. The environment variable OVERWRITE does the same. Be careful, you have been warned!</p>
<p><code>--outprefix &lt;fname_prefix></code> Prepend output filename prefix <var>fname_prefix</var> before '${NODE}-'. You can use as well the environment variable FNAME_PREFIX. Using this any output files will be named <code>&lt;fname_prefix>-${NODE}-p${port}${YYYYMMDD-HHMM}.&lt;format></code> when no file name of the respective output option was specified. If you do not like the separator '-' you can as well supply a <code>&lt;fname_prefix></code> ending in '.', '_' or ','. In this case or if you already supplied '-' no additional '-' will be appended to <code>&lt;fname_prefix></code>.</p>
