Add --keep option to allow to generate newsfile, but keep newsfragmen… (

#453)

* Add --keep option to allow to generate newsfile, but keep newsfragments - closes #129

* Apply suggestions from code review

Co-authored-by: Adi Roiban <[email protected]>

* Additional post-PR enhancements

* Update build --keep comment to be more relevant

Co-authored-by: Adi Roiban <[email protected]>

* More compact remove_files and use with_isolated_runner for new tests

* Refactored _git.remove_files

    Code making decision to remove prompt or keep news fragments
    is being kept in new intermediate function _remover.remove_news_fragment_files

* Update src/towncrier/newsfragments/129.feature

Co-authored-by: Hynek Schlawack <[email protected]>

* Make a decision and return it instead of calling _git.remove underneath

* Move should_remove_fragment_files into build module
