WAF: Avoid using Waf_Rules_Manager from Waf_Runner::initialize()

[nateweller]

Related to https://github.com/Automattic/jpop-issues/issues/9175

Proposed changes:

• Migrates Waf_Rules_Manager::RULES_ENTRYPOINT_FILE to a new JETPACK_WAF_ENTRYPOINT constant, to avoid autoloading the Waf_Rules_Manager class during standalone mode firewall execution.

I am wondering if this is problematic - will this generate_rules method run within a request where an outdated Waf_Runner class was autoloaded in standalone mode, creating the same issue?

Wondering if we just need to duplicate the deceleration of the entrypoint file value, or provide it from a third source separate from the runner and rule manager classes... or just safely handle it potentially being undefined.
