#685: Support only two modes universally for all Source steps

----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 In the next version, we're thinking of having only two modes for all
 source steps: clobber ("I only want the source from VC in the build
 directory") and update ("please carefully update the source, leaving
 everything else as you found it").  Different VC engines might have
 one or more ways to implement each of these modes - in particular, git
 can do clobber in a number of ways ranging from "super-reliable but
 high-bandwidth" to "fast but won't work for everybody".  We will
 probably need to come up with shorter names for those :)

 This is related to #632 and its revert in
 [7fa5137bbc449144d76334bd366920d8b6a7c2c0].
