Apply Changes to repository without beeing forced to change the settings.yml

[lynxSven]

New Feature

We have many repos which we want to control over one single base-settings.yml
The repos only have a settings file with a _extends:{link_to_settings}.yml so they don't change.
The only settings.yml which changes is the controlling repos base-settings.yml

The current implementation only allows to take changes into account, if the settings.yml in the many repos changes.
The index,js checks this -->

if (!settingsModified) {
      robot.log.debug(`No changes in '${Settings.FILE_NAME}' detected, returning...`)
      return
    }

app/index.js

Line 27 in 17fbd40

robot.log.debug(`No changes in '${Settings.FILE_NAME}' detected, returning...`)

We would like a behaviour or a config where we can control the repo without changing the the settings.yml
Maybe a webhook or a workflow, which allows as to do so, so we don't have to change the settings.yml just to workaround the if-condition in the index.js

The lack of this feature is our only reason to not use this app instead of https://github.com/github/safe-settings

I would also love to see this change and not be forced to make a change in settings.yaml to restart the sync.
