When disabling the nftables firewall again, there is a race condition
where the nftables ruleset never gets flushed and persists after
disabling.

The nftables firewall update loop does a noop when the force disable
file exists. It only flushes the ruleset when nftables is disabled in
the configuration file but the force disable file does not yet exist.

This can lead to the following situation:

* nftables is activated and created its ruleset
* user switches from nftables firewall back to iptables firewall
* pve-firewall runs and creates the force disable file
* proxmox-firewall sees that the file exists and does nothing
