regmap: Add debugfs file for forcing field writes

`_regmap_update_bits()` checks if the current register value differs
from the new value, and only writes to the register if they differ. When
testing hardware drivers, it might be desirable to always force a
register write, for example when writing to a `regmap_field`. This
enables and simplifies testing and verification of the hardware
interaction. For example, when using a hardware mock/simulation model,
one can then more easily verify that the driver makes the correct
expected register writes during certain events.

Add a bool variable `force_write_field` and a corresponding debugfs
entry to enable this. Since this feature could interfere with driver
operation, guard it with a macro.
