bottles: --force-bottle feigns or_later.
When reproducing issues with software that hasn’t been bottled yet on your version of macOS it can sometimes be helpful to use `or_later` bottle functionality i.e. just use the bottle for the latest version of macOS available. This maps well to the existing `--force-bottle` argument so it will now act as if the latest bottle has a `or_later` ending.
