What does this PR do?
It adds a new boolean to states/file.py def prepend which makes the outcome of this state arguably more intuitive.
What issues does this PR fix or reference?
This address #32915
Previous Behavior
The user could define text to be prepended to a file, but lines which already occurred elsewhere in the file were not prepended. This led to predictable, but unexpected results.
New Behavior
The user is able to use a new kwarg boolean to state that (s)he wants to have the input appear exactly as entered, at the very top of the target file.
Tests written?
No. But developed through manual test runs.
