Alexandre Knecht dda050bd78 doc: clarify JSON rule positioning with handle field

The existing documentation briefly mentioned that the handle field can be
used for positioning, but the behavior was ambiguous. This commit clarifies:

- ADD with handle: inserts rule AFTER the specified handle
- INSERT with handle: inserts rule BEFORE the specified handle
- Multiple rules added at the same handle are positioned relative to the
  original rule, not to previously inserted rules
- Explicit commands (with command wrapper) use handle for positioning
- Implicit commands (without command wrapper, used in export/import)
  ignore handle for portability

This clarification helps users understand the correct behavior and avoid
confusion when using the JSON API for rule management.
