Add the options create to create the file if it does not exist and ifexists to skip the modification if the file does not exist.

Hey @stephan ! How is --create different from the exact same version of the file type? I.e. what do we gain by adding this?

In regards to ifexists, I understand that there might be a use case (would be great if you can add this one to the documenntation part), but I find the naming a bit tricky:

• ifexists might imply that "only do things if the file exists", which is the default
• ifexists might refer to an existing line

I was first inclined to name it "only-if-file-exists", but that actually does not describe the situation. The introduced behaviour is:

• Ignore the line if the file does not exist

So the most reasonable parameter that comes to my mind would be: ignore-if-file-does-not-exist, which we might want to shrink down a little bit.

Open for suggestions, but I don't think ifexists is the final one.
