rm -rf

Force-remove a file/directory and all descendants.
In contrast to std::fs::remove_dir_all
, it will remove
empty directories that lack read access on Linux,
and will remove "read-only" files and directories on Windows.
Usage
rm_rf::remove("target")?; // remove, fail if target doesn't exists
rm_rf::ensure_removed("target")?; // remove, but ignore if target doesn't exist
Note: to avoid stack overflow for deeply nested directories, this library uses stacker.
