The `AllowOverwriteDirWithFile` option was added when reimplementing the
CLI using the API Client lib in [moby@1b2b91b]. Before that refactor, the
`noOverwriteDirNonDir` query argument [would be set unconditionally][1]
by the CLI, with no options to control the behavior.
It's unclear why the `noOverwriteDirNonDir` was implemented as opt-in (not
opt-out), as overwriting a file with a directory (or vice-versa) would
generally be unexpected behavior.
We're considering making `noOverwriteDirNonDir` unconditional on the daemon
side, and to deprecate the `AllowOverwriteDirWithFile` option. This patch
removes its use, as it was set to the default either way, and there's no
options to configure it from the CLI.
