[FR] Allow force installed Extensions regardless of ExtensionAllowedTypes setting

Reported by stepheng...@amplifiedit.com, May 31 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 9460.50.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.71 Safari/537.36
Platform: 9460.50.0 (Official Build) beta-channel samus

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. set ExtensionAllowedTypes to empty 
2. set ExtensionInstallForcelist to include an extension
3. login to managed account

What is the expected behavior?
The force installed application should be installed

What went wrong?
extension was not installed due to ExtensionAllowedType not permitting any force installed apps/extensions from being installed

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.71  Channel: beta
OS Version: 9460.50.0
Flash Version: 26.0.0.102 

Anything that is Force Installed by an administrator, either by GPO or through a cloud policy, should be installed in spite of other settings.  This would be similar to the current behavior of the Permitted Apps/Extensions list and the Force Installed Extensions list.

Shouldn't be hard to figure out, see kInstallForceList and kAllowedTypes in
chrome/browser/extensions/extension_management.cc.

The new "ExtensionSettings" also blocks force installed extensions - though that may need to be a new Report.
