homebrew: Add force_formula parameter to pass --formula to brew command (#8275)

* homebrew: Add force_formula parameter to pass --formula to brew command

Some formulas have names that are also cask formulas (e.g. docker).
When trying to install such a formula, brew prints a warning and returns
a non-zero exit code. This causes Ansible to halt and report the failure.
By allowing the task to set force_formula, we can sidestep this problem.

* Add changelog fragment
