The forceRemovePrimary was useless and it can be removed because it always
use "false".
But when I added the logic to remove the leader region bucket (when the
shadow bucket failed to initialize), I have to call the removeBucket(xxx,
forceRemovePrimary=true) by myself.
When removing leader bucket in the error handling, I have to skip a few
"return false" exit points, because at this time the leader bucket is not
logically ready and not qualified to be removed unless I force to remove it.
So I make use of the forceRemovePrimary parameter. Maybe I should change it
to better name, such as forceToRemove, though.
