[Enhancement] Introduce the `-f`/`--force` flag as a pattern for confirmation dialogues in the whole CLI

[Poitrin]

In CLI 2.x, the two existing confirmation dialogues (ConfirmStore.ask) for theme publish and theme delete both support the --force flag to automatically answer yes (which can potentially be helpful for e.g. CI/CD).
Shopify/shopify-cli#2680 adds another confirmation dialogue to ask the user whether directories not looking like theme directories shall be served/pushed/… nevertheless.
As a discussion arose whether --force is a suitable name (see discussion), it shall be decided in this issue, and the --force flag stays hidden in the meantime.

Pinging @MeredithCastile to get her UX input here :)

@Poitrin Is this feature request completed with the merged PRs already? can we close it?

[Poitrin]

Not yet…
In the merged PRs, a confirmation dialogue was introduced, and I wanted to add a --force flag in order to contour this confirmation dialogue (during CI/CD e.g.)
However, before officially allowing this flag, we wanted to get UX input first, to decide whether it's okay to suppress every confirmation dialogue with --force.

[Poitrin]

DX team still evaluating if pattern shall be adopted.
As soon as decision has been taken, flag will be renamed or unhidden.

A lot of other tools have a --ci flag, as it defines a more explicit behavior than --force:

• Assume yes for non-critical warnings and questions
• Fail fast on errors and critical warnings
