Image collection CREATE OR REPLACE returns 'already exists' instead of replacing

[retran]

Summary

CREATE OR REPLACE IMAGE COLLECTION fails with "image collection already exists" error when the collection already exists — the OR REPLACE clause is not functional.

Reproduction

CREATE IMAGE COLLECTION MyModule.Icons;
-- succeeds

CREATE OR REPLACE IMAGE COLLECTION MyModule.Icons;
-- Error: image collection already exists: MyModule.Icons

Expected behavior

CREATE OR REPLACE should replace (or be a no-op) if the collection already exists, matching the behavior of CREATE OR REPLACE for other document types.

Version

mxcli v0.7.0-368-g5a109a0e
