--------------------------------------------------------------------

Idea: let DefaultInstaller get new param: "reinstallPolicy": "allow" (as today with equality check removed, just ALWAYS reinstall), "warn" (simple check, if target exists, WARN but reinstall), and "fail" (if local repo target exists, fail).
Default would be "warn".

> Seems in some cases (equality by timestamp and file size) DefaultInstaller will NOT install the requested file, and log this fact on DEBUG level.
> This is wrong: resolver should NOT be "smart" in this case. IMO, if "install request" flies it, resolver should install unconditionally.
> Or, maybe perform some more checks, and refuse install in case like:
> * release artifact that is already present in local repository?
