Describe the bug

Setting any value in "keepalive interval" in the wireguard peer does not change the timing (according to the wireguard log).
I itred to use: empty box, maximum value 65535 and maximum value-1 = 65534

Tip: to validate your setup was working with the previous version, use opnsense-revert (https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/opnsense_tools.html#opnsense-revert)

To Reproduce

Try change this setting and double check the behaviour in the wireguard log.

Expected behavior

To follow the setting and to have no keepalive signals in case of empy setting (no number specified)

Describe alternatives you considered

none

@AdSchellevis I understand that probably this is not a priority, but looking to the wireguard logs there are constant keepalive signals and this is defintely a bug.

[AdSchellevis]

changing the value clearly changes the interval with wg show on my end, if more people report an issue with additional information we can always triage differently.

What I see here is that, the interval is consistent for the wireguard not used (stale status), but for the wireguard active there is a keepalive signal every 2 minutes.
