Add replace attribute to Path:

A new build which sets 'replace' for a config file will overwrite the file
installed on the system regardless of its status:

<Path fileType="config" replace="true">/etc/hede.conf</Path>

Tested on a simple install/reinstall, works well.
Should test further with delta updates before applying.
