Would it possible to add a way to remove a Mapset, or multiple Mapsets,
from the command line? For example, add a "remove" or "delete" or "erase"
function to the existing `g.mapset` module.
Points to consider:
* This functionality should not be allowed, of course!, to request for a
removal of the current Mapset. It should only allow for removal of
other(s) than the current Mapset.
* Only the owner of another, than the current, Mapset, or the "admin"
(creator of PERMANENT?), will be able to remove it.
* Following the existing way of removing "elements" of a Mapset, a force
flag `-f` could be required, in order to actually remove such a directory,
and all of its contents.
* Such an option would, maybe, make for a safer practice, if implemented
correctly, rather than leaving as the only option to remove a Mapset
directory, directly via the host OS' deletion functions.
