This PR provides an entry point in the Kernel that a new way to access the
setAppfunctionality, but only when the app address that is requested to be updated is disallowed in the kill-switch instance of a DAO. It also implements a new role calledAPP_MANAGER_EMERGENCY_ROLE, obviously different than theAPP_MANAGER_ROLE, since it is supposed to be used from a separate flow. For example, if theAPP_MANAGER_ROLEapp has been kill-switched, then theAPP_MANAGER_EMERGENCY_ROLEapp is allowed to perform an upgrade of theAPP_MANAGER_ROLEapp.We could use this new entry point from the voting app to provide all the DAOs a way to bypass the root of authority chain in case any of its components gets kill-switched. Ofc, as explained in the issue linked, there is a list of minimum components we will need whitelist to make that happen (Kernel, ACL, Kill switch, Voting app, ...). But note that with this entry point we can now make sure we don't need the full chain whitelisted.
