Ability to selectively reboot AVD session hosts based on uptime or condition

When using Nerdio autoscale feature with a minimum number of session hosts configured, the minimum hosts remain powered on continuously and do not participate in scale-in operations. This results in extended uptime (e.g. 20+ days), which can lead to performance issues such as high CPU utilisation and degraded user experience. Currently, there is no way to target only these long-running hosts for reboot.
 

We require a capability to identify and selectively reboot session hosts based on conditions such as uptime or performance. The existing option to schedule a reboot applies to all hosts in the host pool, which is not suitable in environments where only a subset of hosts (e.g. minimum hosts) require cycling.
 

Introduce a feature within Nerdio Manager for Enterprise that allows conditional reboot logic for session hosts. 
This could include: 

-Filtering hosts based on uptime (e.g. >7 days) 

- Checking session state (e.g. no active users or drain mode) 

- Applying reboot actions only to selected hosts instead of the entire pool

 Ideally, this would be integrated into autoscale policies or available as a scheduled action within Nerdio. This would help maintain host performance without impacting all session hosts or requiring custom runbooks.
