Subject: [PATCH] fix(romm): snapshot Redis hourly like the upstream image
 (#17562)

* fix(romm): snapshot Redis hourly like the upstream image

Redis' default save policy (3600 1 300 100 60 10000) rewrites the whole dump.rdb every 5 minutes on an idle RomM, because the RQ workers and scheduler change keys constantly. With the Switch TitleDB and PS2 serial caches the dump is ~50 MB, so an idle container writes ~14 GB/day. Upstream fixed this for the Docker image (rommapp/romm#3983, REDIS_SAVE_POLICY default "3600 1"), but that lives in docker/init_scripts/init, which the LXC install never runs. Apply the same policy on install and, for existing containers, on update unless a save policy is already set.

* Update ct/romm.sh

* Update install/romm-install.sh
