fix: Reboot transactional systems when packages are staged but not live

[HVSharma12]

Enhancement:
On transactional update systems, also trigger the reboot handling when the podman packages are installed but not live yet (rpm -q --whatprovides), and make the reboot condition null-safe.

Reason:
The install is only staged until reboot, so is changed is true only in the run that staged it. After a run with podman_transactional_update_reboot_ok unset or false, a re-run with true reports ok and skips the reboot. None | bool is also deprecated in newer ansible-core.

Result:
A re-run reboots as expected. Non-transactional systems are unaffected. Verified on SLES 16.1 Immutable.
