#3763: db.out.ogr Fails with bogus overwrite error

-------------------------+-------------------------
The current script for db.out.ogr tests for existence of a file named as
<input>.dbf. If the file exists and overwrite is not specified, the script
exists. This test is performed even if the format is not **dbf**. So all
of the other formats will fail if such a dbf file already exists, even
though those formats do not touch the dbf file.
For the case of dbf output the script deletes all existing shapefile
components (*.shp, *.shx) so the test is certainly necessary for dbf
format. But I think it is unnecessary for the other formats.
Attached is a suggested diff.
