[Config] Add Disable Send and Context Propagation Only #304

@jackshirazi

Description

@jackshirazi

Classic agent link

What it does

Disable Send sets the agent to making no comms to APM server/collector, but everything else works (including creating transactions etc, eg for log correlation)
Context Propagation Only is the same as Disable Send except that the agent still connects to the APM-server for fetching configuration updates and health checks

Implementation difficulty, location, and dynamism

  • Best done in the exporter (logs, metrics and traces exporters).
  • It can be contributed upstream (but probably not worth it)
  • Can be made dynamic but there is one gotcha, we need the resource bundle in case this is subsequently switched on

NOTE - disable_send is NOT dynamic in the classic agent!
