Update Template to Allow Resizing Without Reboot

Please note that not all templates support resizing without reboot reliably. If you need to revert this change, set allow_resize_without_reboot=0 and ensure resize_without_reboot_policy is set accordingly (if it exists on your database schema in the templates table).

The allow_resize_without_reboot setting is only used in newer releases if resize_without_reboot_policy is not set or is not set correctly. Refer to the Hot Resize page for more information.
