Some discussion required on details of course, but the particular use case I have in mind right now is in the gcf calculation.

In this thread: #248

@ryneches had a frustrating issue to do with attempting to use rooted trees as input for the --gcf flag. It could be relatively easily fixed with newick utils, but still an additional option like --force-unroot-input-trees (or something better named) would be really useful.

For my money, this should just apply to all trees read in by IQ-TREE, that way the implementation can go right into the function that reads in trees, and would just set all input trees to unrooted for a given analysis. I suspect this would solve 90% or more of the problems.
