    freebsd-update: handle file -> directory on upgrade
    
    Upgrading from FreeBSD 13.2 to 14.0 failed with
      install: ///usr/include/c++/v1/__string exists but is not a directory
    because __string changed from a file to a directory with an LLVM
    upgrade.
    
    Now, remove the existing file when the type conflicts.  Note that this
    is only an interim fix to facilitate upgrades from 13.2 for 14.0 BETA
    testing.  This change does not handle the directory -> file case and
    further work is needed.
