Add support for Search Head Cluster in app manifest #1

Hey Julian!

Nice work on this alert action!

Wanted to reach out and mention that in Splunk Cloud, the app shows as "not supporting Search Head Clusters", which I believe is a simple as adding the option in the app manifest so that Cloud Self Service Install will allow it.

Probably worth only targeting Search Heads too..although probably not as important.

Technically, I can't think of any reason this alert action would have any issues running in SHC. Will try and test it using Splunk Operator when I get the chance.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help or support you in adding this so more cloud users can use this awesome alert action!

Looks like we may also need a server.conf file as well with this:

The following example shows how to update the server.conf file to enable replication of a custom configuration file, mycustomconf.conf, in a Splunk Cloud Platform or clustered Splunk Enterprise deployment:

[shclustering]
conf_replication_include.mycustomconf = true

Hey 👋

Thanks for reporting this bug and the positive feedback!

I fixed this issue in this commit. I use repository mirroring from a private GitLab repo to this public GitHub repo, so I'm sorry that there's no pull request for this. 😄

I basically updated the app.manifest file and added my custom conf files to the replication list.
