#3761: Verbosity of g.extension when using the -f flag

------------------------------+-------------------------
 In `g.extension`, in the `def remove_extension()` function, there is:

 {{{
     if force:
         grass.verbose(_("List of removed files:"))
     else:
         grass.info(_("Files to be removed:"))
 }}}
 and
 {{{
     if force:
         grass.message(_("Updating addons metadata file..."))
         remove_extension_xml(mlist)
         grass.message(_("Extension <%s> successfully uninstalled.") %
                       options['extension'])
 }}}

 This is not correct in my humble view.  In case of using the `-f` flag,
 the messages will be emitted regardless of any successful or non-
 successful execution of the `remove_extension_xml` function which in turn
 can be misleading.

 I suggest these messages to be integrated in the functions for which they
 report whatever they report. I have no solution to propose yet, but this
 ticket serves to highlight the problem.
