Description
(Windows)
Sometimes one may want to install a package over itself when it is already installed on the system - specifically meaning the same version of a package.
Reasons for doing this could be to repair a corrupted install or to change a package's configuration.
The current function pkg.install in the win_pkg module does not allow for this.

Setup

Have a Salt minion installed on a Windows machine.
The master must be set up for salt-winrepo or the minion can run masterless.
(Masterless: install Git for Windows then run salt-call winrepo.update_git_repos

• on-prem machine
• VM (Virtualbox, KVM, etc. please specify)
• VM running on a cloud service, please be explicit and add details
• container (Kubernetes, Docker, containerd, etc. please specify)
• or a combination, please be explicit
• jails if it is FreeBSD
• classic packaging
• onedir packaging
• used bootstrap to install

Steps to Reproduce the behavior
(Include debug logs if possible and relevant)

salt-call -l debug pkg.install salt-minion-py3

Output includes the line:
[DEBUG ] pkg.install: 'salt-minion-py3' version '3007.4' is already installed

and then an empty output:

local:
    ----------

Expected behavior
The minion should at least attempt to install the requested package.
This could be by the addition of a force parameter, but an alternative could be to
just attempt the install in all cases - as the logic around whether to install a package -
whether an upgrade, downgrade or otherwise should be left to the state module.
