Description of problem:
setting reboot to never on /etc/dnf/automatic.conf doesn't prevent the system from rebooting after applying updates.
# grep reboot /etc/dnf/automatic.conf reboot = never
Cockpit enables dnf-automatic-install.timer, which creates a drop-in file that cause the system to reboot:

Security updates were applied and reboot was schedule:

STEPS To REPLICATE:
1. Install dnf-automatic
1a. edit /etc/dnf/automatic.conf and add 'reboot = never'. NOTE: reboot = never is the default value
2. Install cockpit and enable automatic updates from web consoles.
Expected results: Updates install but reboot should not be schedule.
Current results: patches are being applied and reboot is being schedule, event thought reboot was disabled via /etc/dnf/automatic.conf
