Prompt the user with a yes or no question.
Return True for yes, False for no, and None if undecided.
You can customize the strings that mean yes or no. For example, you could
create a "type the name of the thing you're about to delete" prompt.
If `must_pick`, then undecided is not allowed and the input will repeat
until they choose an acceptable answer. Either way, the intended usage of
`if getpermission():` will always only accept in case of explicit yes.
