.`ratelimit_burst` variable is only used if `ratelimit_interval` is set in `logging` system role

Previously, in the `logging` RHEL System Role, when the `ratelimit_interval` variable was not set, the role would use the `ratelimit_burst` variable to set the rsyslog `ratelimit.burst` setting. But it had no effect because it is also required to set `ratelimit_interval`.

With this enhancement, if `ratelimit_interval` is not set, the role does not set `ratelimit.burst`. If you want to set `ratelimit.burst`, you must set both `ratelimit_interval` and `ratelimit_burst` variables.

Release Note Status:
Done

Enhancement: As documented in main [rsyslog documentation](https://rsyslog.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/modules/imjournal.html), `ratelimit.burst` have some sense only when `ratelimit.interval` is configured and different from zero.

Reason: Improve `ratelimit.burst` configuration when `ratelimit.interval` is disable (equal to zero)

Result: `ratelimit.burst` is not present when `ratelimit.interval` is disable (equal to zero)
