cy.writeFile type does not have 4 argument version

[bahmutov]

Cypress v6.6.0
cy.writeFile type signature does not allow 4 options, which works at runtime

Yes, this is misdocumented https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/blob/develop/packages/driver/src/cy/commands/files.js#L82:L82

What happens if you pass different encoding in encoding arg than in options arg. I think this may be why this wasn't documented.

@jennifer-shehane According to the lodash doc and the cy.writeFile code below,

cypress/packages/driver/src/cy/commands/files.js

Lines 90 to 94 in 35be2ae

	options = _.defaults({}, userOptions, {
	encoding: encoding ? encoding : 'utf8',
	flag: userOptions.flag ? userOptions.flag : 'w',
	log: true,
	})

encoding in options takes precedence.

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#15602, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.
