platform/x86: dell-ddv: Add "force" module param

Until now, the dell-wmi-ddv driver needs to be manually
patched and compiled to test compatibility with unknown
DDV WMI interface versions.

Add a module param to allow users to force loading even
when a unknown interface version was detected. Since this
might cause various unwanted side effects, the module param
is marked as unsafe.
