#511: Create simulations and automatically purge old version

 When I create a new simulation, I go through a cycle of

 1. Edit parameter file
 2. create-submit
 3. Check output
 4. Correct errors
 5. Purge simulation
 6. Go to 1

 This cycle can happen several times for a new parameter file, and there is
 no value to me in keeping the old broken versions of the simulation
 around, and I don't want to have to keep choosing a new name for the
 simulation anyway.  I propose adding a --purge option to the
 create[-submit] command which purges the simulation if it already exists.
 This would avoid me having to run an additional purge command.
