always append "-force" for "update" data generation

close #221 .

Use the solution described in the issue. Verified locally with the original failing command line.

Thanks @wjxiz1992 for having a look at this issue. Should we consider something similar to the solution for hdfs for local as well? Such as skipping generating the delete data once the first file is generated. I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to always assume the overwrite_output flag when it's update.

I get your concern, no worry, so far the duplicated "delete_n" and "invetory_delete_n" dat files are the only buggy part I found in native TPC-DS tool. When using child, the generated data file with different child number has different file names:

./dsdgen -scale 10 -dir $PWD/sf10-2 -parallel 10 -child 3 -verbose -update 20
...
s_inventory_3_10.dat

./dsdgen -scale 10 -dir $PWD/sf10-2 -parallel 10 -child 2 -verbose -update 20
...
s_inventory_2_10.dat

All other data files are like this. so overwrite flag won't cause problem for them.

we do move action for HDFS case is due to the different output file structure from the local case.

Ultimately, yes, we can do similar things as HDFS, but this need like 1. create child folder for each child, 2. move data files from each child folder to the final folder etc.

@wjxiz1992 and I discussed offline. I don't think this is a good idea given my concern in #222 (comment).
