Add functionality to forcibly link items
This commit introduces an extended configuration syntax for linking files and directories. Currently, this syntax allows for specifying items to be forcibly linked, overwriting existing files or directories if necessary. The extended configuration syntax was proposed by Travers McInerney <travers@mcinerney.me>.

### Link
|
||||
|
||||
Link commands specify how files and directories should be symbolically linked.
|
||||
If desired, items can be specified to be forcibly linked, overwriting existing
|
||||
files if necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Format

@ -99,13 +101,23 @@ locations. Source locations are specified relative to the base directory (that
|
|||
is specified when running the installer). Source directory names should contain

a trailing "/" character.
|
||||
|
||||
Link commands support an (optional) extended configuration. In this type of
|
||||
configuration, instead of specifying source locations directly, targets are
|
||||
mapped to extended configuration dictionaries. These dictionaries map "path" to
|
||||
the source path, and specify "force" as true if the file or directory should be
|
||||
forcibly linked.
|
||||
|
||||
##### Example

```json

{
|

"link": {

||||
"~/.vimrc": "vimrc",
