Support hatch version --force

[warsaw]

When downgrading with an explicit version number, normally hatch will raise an error. While validate-bump can be provided in the config file, it's useful to be able to override this check on the command line. This PR implements hatch version --force <downgrade-version>.

Closes: #1458

Thanks! I pushed a commit to use a slightly different approach in the backend. Rather than a CLI option for Hatchling, I'm using an environment variable as I recommended in a similar change: #1511 (comment)

The benefit is that if the backend happens to be a version before the introduction of the CLI option then nothing would break.

Thanks, this makes sense! I'll keep that in mind for the future.

Question: are these environment variables documented?

[ofek]

The other one I mentioned is not because the PR is still open and waiting for the recommendation. However, you're right that I forgot to document this outside of the plugin property!

If you have time, it should be documented here as well. Otherwise, I will make sure to do this before the next release!
