update_packages(force = TRUE) does not reinstall package #521

Description

@dpprdan

update_packages(force = TRUE) does not reinstall a package, which it should, if I understand the documentation correctly.

Force installation, even if the remote state has not changed since the previous install.

It seems to me that the force argument in update.package_deps() is not evalutated for packages where object$diff == CURRENT?

library(remotes)
update_packages("lookup", force = TRUE)
install_github("jimhester/lookup")
#> Using github PAT from envvar GITHUB_PAT
#> Skipping install of 'lookup' from a github remote, the SHA1 (eba63db4) has not changed since last install.
#>   Use `force = TRUE` to force installation
