What -n actually does in addition to its documented behavior is
ignoring of configuration variable clean.requireForce, that makes
sense provided -n prevents files removal anyway.
So, first, document this in the manual, and then modify implementation
to make this more explicit in the code.
Improved implementation also stops to share single internal variable
'force' between command-line -f option and configuration variable
clean.requireForce, resulting in more clear logic.
The error messages now do not mention -n as well, as it seems
unnecessary and does not reflect clarified implementation.
