Description
This is a feature request. This can be a breaking change.
According to https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/268#issuecomment-120752274 it's designed not to fail the build in case the script is bad. However this rarely happens, and we can make use of `--force` in both `choco upgrade` and `choco uninstall`. Therefore, I propose that error in `chocolateyBeforeModify.ps1` should fail the action, unless `-f`/`--force` is used.

Research direction
Start by locating the choco upgrade and choco uninstall entry points that process chocolateyBeforeModify.ps1, then trace how -f/--force is handled. Done means an error in the script aborts both actions by default, while --force allows the operation to continue.
