Allow multiple instances if monitor-only #2107

Description

@red4dj

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I want to have an instance continually running with --monitor-only that notifies me of container updates. Then, I only want to trigger those updates when I run the update API command on a second instance.

Even when the --monitor-only flag is set, watchtower still does not allow multiple instances in the same scope, even though interactions between instances would be a non-issue.

Describe the solution you'd like

If a new watchtower instance is started with the --monitor-only flag, it should not clean up other instances. Also vice-versa: if a new watchtower instance is started, it should skip cleaning up any instances with the --monitor-only flag.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The only alternative I have come up with is a scheduled instance running monitoring, then to update I have to shut that down and run a second instance for a single update, then the monitoring instance has to be restarted.
