We regularly use provision-deploy to overwrite an existing production site with a fresh copy from staging. Each time provision-deploy is used on an already existing site, a new database is created. The old database never gets dropped however, resulting in obsolete databases.

Attached patch adds additional clean-up to post provision-deploy to remove the old database if necessary.

Pushed to 2.x for further testing. Please find a third party to test this patch, when it's RTBC we'll merge it in 1.x.

It otherwise looks sound, I just don't have much time to test it myself and it's a quite sensitive area...
