Add a command to "revert to exercise start".

Just like in the Web UI:

My first thought is an use like this:

exercism restart --exercise=freelancer-rates --track=javascript

Maybe ask for a confirmation before getting rid of user's files (and --force option to not ask for confirmation).

use case

I downloaded an exercise a few days ago but only worked on it today and submitted my solution.

After that I went to the Web UI and noticed the exercise was updated (the requirements/functions to be implemented were changed).

I wanted to get the default boilerplate to restart the exercise from scratch and wasn't able to get it via CLI.

(fortunately @SleeplessByte showed to me how to do it via web UI ❤️)
