Description

If the reason/description string of a config back contains the string "-NoReMoTeBaCkUp" no ACB will be performed. The string is removed before the local config file is changed.

This is to allow packages such as Snort and pfBlockerNG to write to config.xml without hammering the ACB system.

E.g.:

   write_config("Just making a little change-NoReMoTeBaCkUp");

Will cause the configuration change description "Just making a little change" to be recorded. NO ACB will be performed.

Tested on 2.5.0.a.20190830.1941, works as expected.

There's a typo on line 190 (in src/etc/inc/acb.inc):

function upload_config($manual = flase) {

flase should be false

Manual backups with a reason entered by the user aren't getting the correct string appended, so MaNuAlBaCkUp is showing through in the backup list when it shouldn't be. It's an easy fix, I'll take care of it.

Cherry picked 0bdd1774a1666852e35452ea3f17bb9dc075ecec which fixed it on master.

I tested the NoReMoTeBaCkUp string as well and it behaved as expected.
