{A detailed description of what you expect to see}

pihole update code for 5 release checks for SELinux and exits if it is enabled, however there is also a shell variable PIHOLE_SELINUX. If this is set pihole -up continues with SELinux either enabled or enabled and in enforcing mode. I understand there are issues with pihole as is with SELinux and have taken measures to let it function with SELinux enforcing to a degree I can live with.

IMHO this variable should be either mentioned by the installer in update mode or documented. I just stumbled upon it in your source code.

Actual behaviour:

pihole -up on 4->5 updates pihole and the webinterface but not FTL, and thus breaks itself.

Steps to reproduce:

pihole -up on any system with SELinux enabled.

{Detailed steps of how we can reproduce this}
