Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Yay refuses to update packages when pkgver is numerically lower than the installed version, which is problematic when pkgver represents a commit hash.

For instance zen-twilight-bin won't update sometimes
-> zen-twilight-bin: local (859ff6c-1) is newer than AUR (24fec75-1)

Describe the solution you'd like

Provide with a feature to update certain packages when pkgver changes in the PKGBUILD, even when the new version is numerically lower than the installed one.

For example yay --always-update=zen-twilight-bin --save, which would ignore the version number and update zen-twilight-bin if the pkgver in AUR is different than local.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A temporary workaround is to reinstall the package manually.
