Checkmk versions & editions

2.1.0b1	Checkmk Raw (CRE), Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk MSP (CME)
2.0.0b8	Checkmk Raw (CRE), Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk MSP (CME)

Since checkmk version 2.0.0b7 the Checkmk update procedure (cmk-update-config) validates regexes. This validation failed with the error message "AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'" if the item of a rule was not of the type "dict" or "None". We can skip the regex validation if the item is not of type "dict".
