[5.x]: Can't create a manual transaction more than the order payment balance.

[MatthiasBrodelet]

What happened?

Description

I want to start by saying this is clearly not a bug so feel free to change the label of this issue to something more fitting.

When you want to create a transaction that is higher than the order payment balance you ge the message that this is impossible. Even when you enter the bigger number it will only add the maximum value of the order payment balance.

I have a use case where it should be different:
We sometimes accept manual money transfers.
The balance for the client was 62,75 EUR.
However the client made a mistake and paid 67,75 EUR.
We would like to capture the amount that the client paid, even if it was too much, and then log a refund in the transactions.
That way we have a nice and clean history of what exactly happened.

So I guess my question is instead of forcing us to use the maximum balance amount if it is possible to override this behaviour if we are really sure about it?

Steps to reproduce

1. Add a payment amount higher than the order payment balance
