Describe the bug
when setting h264_bitrate in max_override.yaml, the setting does override the default value. However after reboot, it does not persist and defaults to an arbitrary value of "5000". User must manually drag the slider to below the max to refresh the session, thereafter pulling the slider to max then sets the max correctly. The value defaults back to 5000 after sometime too even without reboot.

To Reproduce

Set value in /etc/kvmd/override.yaml like so:

kvmd:
    streamer:
        h264_bitrate:
            default: 100
            max: 100

ro and reboot
verify the value with kvmd -m
go to web gui and h264_bitrate is above the max

Expected behavior
Max value to be as per override.yaml and not revert overtime either.
