Allow "Discard & Reload from Disk" when attempting to overwrite newer version from file

[Nearoo]

When an editor is "dirty" of a file that changed on disk, saving that file causes the following dialogue to open:

Examples where this might be useful:

• I'm modifying a file that is generated, to test out a few things; after I'm done, I run the generator again. If I accidentally left a file unsaved, I now have to manually press overwrite on each file, then re run the generator, or I open the diff view an press discard.

Intuitively I'd expect that use case to be a rare occurance, but in my personal case, it seems to be more often the case that I'd like to discard changes than overwrite them. An argument for that fact is: What's a situation when the file changes while it's open in the editor, really? Probably more often than something I outlined above than not...

There is also a setting for this: files.saveConflictResolution to entirely disable this check if it becomes annoying. But it does the opposite of what is asked here.
