cli/discover: remove/add local collections if the remote collection is deleted/created

This works when the destination backend is 'filesystem'.

-- add a new parameter to storage section:
   implicit = ["create", "delete"]

Changes cli/utils.py:save_status(): when data is None, remove the
underlaying file.

+- Add ``implicit`` option to storage section.  It creates/deletes implicitly
+  collections in the destinations, when new collections are created/deleted
+  in the source.  The deletion is implemented only for the "filesystem" storage.
