Add some wayt to add additional params to bower

[sratatata]

Can't use workaround for problem: bower/bower#866

It would be nice to add some way of bypassing some params to bower. like --force for example.
It's done nice in gradle-appengine-plugin:

appcfg {
    ...
        extraOptions=["--oauth2_refresh_token="+oauth2_refresh_token,
        "--application="+googleAppId,
        "--version="+googleAppVersion]
    }

Deps:

dependencies {
            install name: "jquery", version: "1.10.2"
            install name: "bootstrap", version: "3.3.6"
            install name: "angular", version: "1.5.0"
            install name: "angular-bootstrap", version: "1.1.2"
            install name: "angular-route", version: "1.5.0"
            install name: "angular-scroll", version: "1.0.0"
            install name: "font-awesome", version: "4.5.0"
            install name: "angular-ui-tinymce", version: "0.0.12"
            install name: "angular-translate", version: "2.9.0"
            install name: "angular-translate-loader-static-files", version: "2.9.0"
            install name: "angular-google-client", version: "2.0.2"
        }

OK, I'll add an option for it.

[ksoichiro]

I've added two ways to solve this issue (not yet released).

1. bower.dependencies.resolve

This is equivalent to "resolutions" attribute in bower.json.

webResource {
    bower {
        dependencies {
            install name: "bootstrap", version: "3.3.6"
            install name: "angular", version: "1.5.0"

            // Add this to resolve conflict
            resolve name: "angular", version: "1.5.0"
        }

2. --force-latest option

You can also resolve conflict by setting "--force-latest" option to "options".
This will be passed to bower's install command.

webResource {
    bower {
        // Add this to resolve conflict
        options = ["--force-latest"]

If you omit these options, the plugin will suggest to add "resolve" option.

I've released v1.4.0 that includes two new options above.
Please try it when you have time.
