Introduce a xen-livepatch tool --force option, that's propagated into the hyerpvisor for livepatch operations. The intention is for the option to be used to bypass some checks that would otherwise prevent the patch from being loaded. Re purpose the pad field in xen_sysctl_livepatch_op to be a flags field that applies to all livepatch operations. The flag is currently only set by the hypercall wrappers for the XEN_SYSCTL_LIVEPATCH_UPLOAD operation, as that's so far the only one where it will be used initially. Other uses can be added as required. Note that helpers would set the .pad field to 0, that's been removed since the structure is already zero initialized at definition. No functional usages of the new flag introduced in this patch.
