Exceptions have been introduced in commit 64a231b962
The feature itself is very useful for more complex environments where
the simple conditions are difficult to handle.
However, many users reported that they find them difficult to understand so
we are doing a rollback of them in the default ruleset in favor of the
syntax without exceptions.

Whitelist ibm images for connecting to k8s api server
IBM Observability by Sysdig has a vendored sysdig/agent image.
IBM's Kubernetes Service ships with an operator manager. Example:
19:12:45.090908160: Notice Unexpected connection to K8s API Server from

IBM's Kubernetes service also ships with a metrics collecting agent

Take advantage of the changes to support exceptions and refactor rules
to use them whenever feasible:
- Define exceptions for every rule. In cases where no practical
exception exists e.g. "K8s <obj> Created/Deleted", define an empty
exception property just to avoid warnings when loading rules.
- Go through all rules and convert macros-used-as-exceptions that
matched against 2-3 filter fields into exceptions. In most cases,
switching from equality (e.g proc.name=nginx) to in (e.g. proc.name
in (nginx)) allowed for better groupings into a smaller set of
exception items.
- In cases where the exception had complex combinations of fields, keep
the macro as is.

`multipath`, which is run by `systemd-udevd`, writes to
`/etc/multipath/wwids`, `/etc/multipath/bindings` and a few other paths
under `/etc/multipath` as part of its normal operation.

Use the right list name in the rule Full K8s Administrative Access--it
was using the nonexistent list admin_k8s_users, so it was just using the
string "admin_k8s_users".

Like other rules that rely on a process name for exceptions, don't
trigger an event if the process name is missing e.g. "<NA>".

Also ignore docker programs which would prevent cases where the path is
expressed within the container filesystem (/.bash_history) vs host
filesystem (/var/lib/docker/overlay/.../.bash_history).

It turns out if you read this rules file with falco versions 0.24.0 and
earlier, it can't parse the bare string containing colons:
(Ignore the misleading error context, that's a different problem):

I think the change in 0.25.0 to use a bundled libyaml fixed the problem,
as it also upgraded libyaml to a version that fixed
https://github.com/yaml/libyaml/pull/104.
Work around the problem with earlier falco releases by quoting the colon.

In some cases, when removing a container, dockerd will itself remove the
entire overlay filesystem, including a shell history file:
---
Shell history had been deleted or renamed (user=root type=unlinkat
command=dockerd -H fd://
... name=/var/lib/docker/overlay2/.../root/.bash_history ..
---
To avoid these FPs, skip paths starting with /var/lib/docker.

Add several images seen in GKE environments that can run in the
kube-system namespace.
Also change the names of the lists to be more specific. The old names
are retained but are kept around for backwards compatibility.

Add a set of images known to run in the host network. Mostly related to
