Replace promtail with alloy-logs in the k8s-monitoring v2 chart
With promtail not being activity developed by grafana, they have moved to alloy as the standard log/metrics/trace collector for the LGTM stack. https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/send-data/promtail/
- Default installs should install the alloy-logs collector with atleast the podLogs enabled.
- figure out if we need to enable nodeLogs collection?
- upgrade should be seamless to the user, logs will still be delivered to loki for searching in grafana. User should have todo nothing during the upgrade.
- Deprecate and/or remove promtail as a core package
