Subject: [PATCH 20/59] mono-update: --force flag to release the current base

Needed for the inaugural release (base == latest, nothing to rebase)
and for re-releasing after local-only changes; the rest of the flow
- tag, build with baked identity, artifacts, publish, forge release -
runs identically to a real upstream-triggered run.
