11.6 mergeprop adding killAgentAfterTimeout=true for all Brokers

Migrating an earlier version of the ubroker.properties file to replace the file in OpenEdge 11.6 with mergeprop.
Running a 11.6 mergeprop against an earlier OpenEdge 11 ubroker.properties to add or update an AppServer Broker.

The killAgentAfterTimeout property did not exist prior to OpenEdge 11.6 where it was introduced for WebSpeed Agents.

The mergeprop sets killAgentAfterTimeout=true in the [UBroker] parent section.  AppServers fail startup when the AppServer is started with a version prior to OpenEdge 11.6

Defect PSC00350380 was raised to ensure the killAgentAfterTimeout property is only added to the appropriate UBroker.WS section and defaults to false instead of true.

1.  Don't start pre-OpenEdge 11.6 UBrokers with the killAgentAfterTimeout property.
Manually edit the ubroker.properties file and remove or comment out killAgentAfterTimeout property from the ubroker.properties file

2. OpenEdge 11.6 UBrokers will start with the killAgentAfterTimeout property, where it was first introduced.

3. OpenEdge 11.7 UBrokers, with the exception of WebSpeed Brokers, will fail to start when the killAgentAfterTimeout property is manually added or erroneously added with mergeprop to the [UBroker] Section
