Description
Currently, when syncing a pair, vdirsyncer asks for confirmation prior creating a new collection in a storage.
It would be nice to have a command line argument like --batch or --force, which assures that vdirsyncer will never expect any input. If input is really really required, it should fail.
A use case would be a cron job, which mirrors a remote source to a local one (e.g. offline contacts).

Research direction
Start by tracing the command-line argument parsing and the sync path that asks for confirmation before creating a collection. Determine how batch or force mode should suppress input and how required input should fail; done means a non-interactive sync can run unattended for the stated cron-job use case.
