initramfs-framework-ima: introduce IMA_FORCE

Introduce IMA_FORCE to allow the IMA policy be applied forcely even
'no_ima' boot parameter is available.

This ensures the end users have a way to disable 'no_ima' support if
they want to, because it may expose a security risk if an attacker can
find a way to change kernel arguments, it will easily bypass rootfs
authenticity checks.
