Grafana Agent v0.37: Feature parity between Static and Flow mode, easy migration configs, and more

Grafana Agent v0.37 introduces significant updates, achieving feature parity between its Static and Flow modes, which simplifies the transition to Flow mode through an enhanced config converter. This release allows for the splitting of Flow configurations into multiple files, enhancing ease of use by maintaining manageable config sizes and reducing Git conflicts. Grafana Agent Flow, which includes a custom configuration language called River, is set to replace Static mode as the default, offering improved usability, debuggability, and adaptability for power users. The update also includes a variety of new components for discovery and processing, such as those for Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and various cloud APIs, facilitating comprehensive telemetry data handling. While the conversion from Static to Flow mode is supported, users are encouraged to review converted configurations before deploying them in production environments, as some configurations might not yet be fully supported for conversion.
