Support for new SchemaSyncMode "Force Sync" for Uploading PTE Extensions [BC21.2]

[pri-kise]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Could you please provide support for uploading PTE Extension with ForceSync.

We could discuss how this property should work on batch publish.

Describe the solution you'd like a new Boolean flag that we could set manually for specific releases.

Describe alternatives you've considered Currently we're manually uploading extensions in case of breaking changes.

Additional context Here is an example copied from the thread on Yammer. (https://www.yammer.com/dynamicsnavdev/threads/2014045471588352)

The step AlopsAppPublish does have a ForceSync parameter.

Isn't that what you mean?

I must have missed this setting.
