feat: adds option to force update new branch in contents routes (#35592)

Allows users to specify a "force" option in API /contents routes when
modifying files in a new branch. When "force" is true, and the branch
already exists, a force push will occur provided the branch does not
have a branch protection rule that disables force pushing.

This is useful as a way to manage a branch remotely through only the
API. For example in an automated release tool you can pull commits,
analyze, and update a release PR branch all remotely without needing to
clone or perform any local git operations.
