support for --discard-foreign-keys

Browse Source 
This flag makes migration silently and happily discard any existing foreign keys on migrated table. This is useful for intentional dropping of foreign keys, as gh-ost does not otherwise have support for foreign key migration.
At some time in the future gh-ost may support foreign key migration, at which time this flag will be removed
