[Bug 1777479] [NEW] RFE: add "allow-unauthenticated" option to add-apt-repository

[Ken Dreyer (Red Hat)]

Public bug reported:

The apt command has an "--allow-unauthenticated" option.

It would be great to add "--allow-unauthenticated" to "add-apt-
repository" as well. This could add the "[trusted=yes]" option to the
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/my_trusted_repo.list definition. Like so:

  deb [trusted=yes] https://example.com/ bionic main
