After werk 19463 introduced the Keep containers exited with non-zero exit code in monitoring option to the Podman hosts and containers (Linux) agent rule, existing rules saved before that change were missing the new key. Because the key is required by the form spec, those rules would fail validation when loaded.

The migration function for the rule now automatically sets the option to true for any existing rule that does not yet contain it, preserving the previous behavior.
