Make default for mv safer, require -f to overwrite (#6904)

* fix:  "saner" default for mv

fixes #6747

As highlighted in the issue, the default behavior of nu currently
is to overwrite the destination file without notice.
This is not a "standard" expectation users that want this behavior
can create a dedicated alias.

* fix: 📝 edit the comment

* fix:  updated the tests

* fix: 🚧 use --force for case test
