files: backup file collisions

Browse source 
When a configuration file would be written to an existing file, rather
than failing switch (and having the user have to move or delete those
files), move the files automatically to a new path.

Closes #585

Collisions between unmanaged and managed files can now be
automatically resolved by moving the target file to a new
path instead of failing the switch operation. To enable
this, use the new '-b' command line argument. For example,
home-manager -b bck switch
where 'bck' is the suffix to give the moved file. In this
case a colliding file 'foo.conf' will be moved to
'foo.conf.bck'.
