Fix jq $def keyword collision in optional-integrations-load

The agent-policy enumeration passed --argjson def, creating a jq
variable $def. 'def' is a reserved keyword in jq and the deployed jq
version rejects it, so the program failed to compile and
in_use_integrations was left empty (silently disabling the in-use
upgrade guard). Rename the arg to $defaults.
