clean: further clean-up of implementation around "--force"
We clarified how "clean.requireForce" interacts with the "--dry-run"
option in the previous commit, both in the implementation and in the
documentation. Even when "git clean" (without other options) is
required to be used with "--force" (i.e. either clean.requireForce
is unset, or explicitly set to true) to protect end-users from
casual invocation of the command by mistake, "--dry-run" does not
require "--force" to be used, because it is already its own
protection mechanism by being a no-op to the working tree files.
The previous commit, however, missed another clean-up opportunity
around the same area. Just like in the "--dry-run" mode, the
command in the "--interactive" mode does not require "--force",
either. This is because by going interactive and giving the end
user one more chance to confirm, the mode itself is serving as its
own protection mechanism.
Let's take things one step further, and unify the code that defines
interaction between "--force" and these two other options. Just
like we added explanation for the reason why "--dry-run" does not
honor "clean.requireForce", give an explanation for the reason why
"--interactive" makes "clean.requireForce" to be ignored.
Finally, add some tests to show the interaction between "--force"
and "--interactive". We already have tests that show interaction
between "--force" and "--dry-run", but didn't test "--interactive".
