[feature request] Add --force flag to conan art:server add

[thorntonryan]

Description

I'd like to be able to call conan art:server add ... with a --force flag.

Like conan remote add, the command should:

Force the definition of the remote even if duplicated

Would support the development of idempotent setup scripts, etc. for build nodes, configuration as code, etc.

Context

Trying to create an idempotent credentials setup pipeline job. Discovered that conan art:server add doesn't have a --force option the way that conan remote add¹ does.

As a result, we can't re-run these jobs to bring our build nodes up to date if our backing credentials change.

Hi @thorntonryan

Thanks for your suggestion.
This might make sense, and sounds reasonably easy, would you like to give it a try yourself?
