Allow increment an authorization

From Stripe’s documentation:

Incremental authorizations allow you to increase the authorized amount on a confirmed PaymentIntent before you capture it. This is helpful if the total price changes or the customer adds goods or services and you need to update the amount on the payment.

Use case:

1. Customer places an order for an item with variable weight or quantity with a total based on estimated amount.
2. Authorize and capture later on checkout.
3. If lower, no increment needed. If final amount is higher, increment the authorization.

This will allow merchants to reduce risks of undercharging customers, or from refunds when final amount sold is less than the amount that the user paid for.
