Warning if the simulation folder is not empty
Issue Users should receive a warning that the simulation folder used for the optimization is not empty. And should be given a choice to delete it via a dialog or checkbox in the GUI. In the CLI a warning should be given and delete the folder before the run starts.
A warning here is probably a good idea. We should make sure the user know that deletion is slow, and should probably make them do it on their own, but we can have a prompt whether they would like to continue.
Also be aware that ert already has functionality for this, so if we can align the two, that is beneficial.
For this we could override the check_if_runpath_exists() in the EverestRunModel, then in the everest execution flow, create an everest baserunmodel right after the everest config is initialized, and invoke check_if_runpath_exists(). I'm assuming there is no existing logic for checking if the runpath exists in Everest.
If you can get to know the range of GEO_ID and REALIZATION, you can do a more thorough check, but I think it would also be fine to start with something simple, like just checking if the simulation output directory exists.
Open question/edge case this: Will a terminal prompt mess up someones workflow? If they have a bash script they expect to just run, and everest run is part of that, the prompt would halt it forever
