Behavior change: --trust option no longer overrides trust

Since that can lead to data loss, which should never be enabled by an
option other than --force.

I suppose that using --trust was in some situation, safer than --force,
because it doesn't entirely disable checking for data loss, but only
disables checking involving data that is on the specified repository.
But it seems better to be able to say that data loss only happens with
--force.

archival drive, from which you rarely or never remove content. Deciding
when it makes sense to trust the tracking info is up to you.
One way to handle this is just to use `--force` when a command cannot
access a remote you trust. Or to use `--trust` to specify a repository to
trust temporarily.
To configure a repository as fully and permanently trusted,
use the [[git-annex-trust]] command.
