v0.25.0

[rlankfo]

This is release v0.25.0 of the Grafana Agent.

Upgrading

Read the upgrade guide for specific instructions on upgrading from older versions.

Notable changes:

• As of this release, the Grafana Agent will send anonymous, but uniquely-identifiable information around enabled feature flags to stats.grafana.org. Statistics help us better understand how Grafana Agent is used. This helps us prioritize features and documentation. If you would like to disable the reporting, Grafana Agent provides the flag -disable-reporting
  to stop the reporting.

• (beta) This release adds support for using the Windows certificate store for TLS connections.

Breaking changes

• Traces: Use rpc.grpc.status_code attribute to determine
  span failed in the service graph processor (@rcrowe)
