Stop/Start monit during Pi-hole update

Some users use monit to monitor and control some or all Pi-hole daemons. https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-monitor-pi-hole-with-monit/8025 A daemon restart initiated by monit is not advisable during a Pi-hole update/upgrade. Therefore it should be a good idea that the Pi-hole update process stops monit before the update and restart it after a successful update.
