Add replace option

Problem/Motivation

Currently files are moved with the replace flag set to 'rename'. In cases where developers are sure that relevant file URLs will be unique (e.g. a filefield_paths pattern or other presave alter that ensures uniqueness), it might be good to add an option to replace existing files, if there are any temp files or files from previous (perhaps unsuccessful) file operations, to ensure the file URL remains constant through publishing/unpublishing/republishing.

Proposed resolution

Attached patch adds a media_files_handler.settings config entity with a 'replace' option, default false. No UI or config creation for existing installations - devs would need to manually add a media_files_handler.settings.yml in the config sync directory.
