Add an 'Allowed to Force Push' option to the Protected branches

Although I want to prevent my team from force pushing to certain branches, I want to be able to configure exceptions.

For example:

• I don't want anyone else by me to have force push permissions to master
• I want to prevent force push for all branches except those matching wip-*

We should provide a more convenient way to allow force pushes for specific users on protected branches.

Proposal

Add a new setting on protected branches called 'Allowed to Force Push' which would enable the Developer or those with Master permission to perform a force push to the branch.
