Minor Description

Hi dear MaxScale contributors
I've tried to build MaxScale from source code on 23.08 and noticed the use of `--force-yes` flag with apt-get which is deprecated in 1.1 version of apt-get and results a warning log:
W: --force-yes is deprecated, use one of the options starting with --allow instead.
I think we should use --allow even we should all --allow flags, but also I think not all them are useful.
Here is complete list:
--allow-downgrades
--allow-remove-essential
--allow-change-held-packages
--allow-unauthenticated
--allow-insecure-repositories
--allow-releaseinfo-change
I'll research on real use cases and open a PR if you confirm on this email. I'm also interested on background of this flag and the reason it used as it should used in very special cases.
Sincerely,
Salar Nosrati-Ershad

Hi,
The --force-yes has been there for a long time. I don't think it's even needed and should probably just be removed. The change is simple to implementbut the problem is testing it on all of the Ubuntu/Debian versions that MaxScale supports. If you want to, you can open a Jira issue and the MaxScale developers can fix it as we have the capability to easily verify that it doesn't break the builds.
