Description
Currently, unstable_overwriteFile(fileUrl: RequestInfo, file: Blob, options explicitly overwrites any data at the provided URL. A more subtle behaviour would be to change it to unstable_saveFile(fileUrl: RequestInfo, file: Blob, options), with options including a parameter overwrite: boolean set to true by default (to be consistent with the default behaviour of unstable_overwriteFile that would be replaced by unstable_saveFile).
Under the cover, the library would set the If-None-Match header for the server to check if a resource already exists at the provided URL.
This feature should coordinate with https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server/issues/1431.

Research direction
Start at the unstable_overwriteFile API described in the issue and trace how save requests are assembled. Review the coordinated node-solid-server issue, then define the replacement API and If-None-Match behavior, including the default overwrite option; done means the client and server coordination is resolved.
