switch: add --discard-changes

pclouds · gitster · commit 3ec37ad13dea · 2019-04-02T13:56:59.000+09:00
--discard-changes is a better name than --force for this option since
it's what really happens. --force is turned to an alias for
--discard-changes. But it's meant to be an alias for potentially more
force options in the future.

Side note. It's not obvious from the patch but --discard-changes also
affects submodules if --recurse-submodules is used. The knob to force
updating submodules is hidden behind unpack-trees.c
