Allow forcing reference updates in TransactionManager

Sami Hiltunen requested to merge smh-forced-reference-updates into master

TransactionManager is currently always verifying the reference's old value matches the expected one in the update. There are some RPCs in Gitaly that perform updates forcefully without checking the reference's old value. One such example is WriteRef. To support such use cases, this commit implements a Force flag in ReferenceUpdate that allows for applying the reference update regardless of the old value.

Closes #5141 (closed)
