Description

Problem to solve

A way to force the VNavigationDrawer to be expanded even when the user isn't hovering.
User case - allow user to edit/rename items in the VNavigationDrawer without shifting the main UI, disabling rail mode would visibly shift the main UI which we want to avoid.

Proposed solution

add a forceExpand value that when set it overrides the isHovering value.
and only works when expandOnHover is enabled.
