Make optional to force new revision on app update in Code Engine CLI

In Toolchain pipelines, the IBM CLI and Code Engine plugin is extensively used for creating and updating apps and jobs on Code Engine projects. However, since version 1.15.0 of the Code Engine plugin, a new revision is always forced even if there are no changes. This is troublesome in automatic deployment scripts for multi app and job architectures.

Suggestion: Revert "alwasy create revision" and introduce "--force" or similar flag enabling greater flexibility. Or at least enable an override on the forced revisions such as "--on-change-only".

    Can you elaborate on what you're doing in the CLI when the new revision happens? CE has always forced a new revision on any kind of change, even just to the scaling properties, so I'm curious what your exact steps are.
