Change how Dakota deals with existing results files

## Specification

Alias: none

Argument(s): none

Default: results files removed before each evaluation

## Description

By default Dakota will remove existing results files before invoking the `analysis_driver` to avoid problems created by stale files in the current directory. To override this behavior and not delete existing files, specify `allow_existing_results`.
