Create new rule `audit_rules_cron_execution` that aligns with RHEL 9 STIG requirement RHEL-09-654097 The requirement was updated in RHEL 9 STIG V2R9. The previous versions of STIG watched for modifications of `/etc/cron.d` `/var/spool/cron`. The V2R9 requires to watch any system call made by cron and requires to use different audit rules than the previous versions.
RHEL 9 rules that use the `audit_rules_watch` template will start using the "modern" style of audit watches. The reason for this change is that RHEL 9 STIG V2R9 started to use the "modern" style in their requirements. Also, RHEL 9 CIS Benchmark will switch to the "modern" style in the next release of the RHEL 9 CIS Benchmark.
