Deployment Approval: Skip approvals in emergency
Description
Discussed in #345678 (comment 842352586).
Deployment Approvals is one of the important features to ensure the Deployment safety. Multiple groups can cross-verify whether an upcoming deployment is safe to be promoted to production.
However, often there is an emergency that operators need to apply a patch to production ASAP or Rollback to a previous stable version when the latest deployment had a critical bug. In such cases, they want to skip the Deployment Approvals because the availability on the servers is more critical than cross-functional verification.
Proposal
Operators should be able to skip approvals in emergency.
