Synchronize PAR procmgr config for experiments

This branch only runs from postInstallDatadogAgent; the OCI package experiment and config-experiment paths start units from postStartExperimentDatadogAgent / postStartConfigExperimentDatadogAgent without writing or removing the PAR processes.d file. On a host with private_action_runner.use_process_manager: true, starting or promoting an experiment therefore falls back to datadog-agent-action-exp.service instead of dd-procmgr until another full install runs, so the opt-in is not preserved across the experiment workflow.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Honor the documented environment override

When operators use the documented DD_PRIVATE_ACTION_RUNNER_USE_PROCESS_MANAGER=true override (for example via the service environment file), this helper still reads only datadog.yaml and returns the zero value when the YAML key is absent. The installer hook will not write the PAR processes.d config, so the environment-based opt-in has no effect; either load the setting through the Agent config/env binding or avoid advertising the env override.

Explanation

Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%

Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:

• ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
• ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
• ➖ = no significant change in performance

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".

Replicate Execution Details

We run multiple replicates for each experiment/variant. However, we allow replicates to be automatically retried if there are any failures, up to 8 times, at which point the replicate is marked dead and we are unable to run analysis for the entire experiment. We call each of these attempts at running replicates a replicate execution. This section lists all replicate executions that failed due to the target crashing or being oom killed.

Note: In the below tables we bucket failures by experiment, variant, and failure type. For each of these buckets we list out the replicate indexes that failed with an annotation signifying how many times said replicate failed with the given failure mode. In the below example the baseline variant of the experiment named experiment_with_failures had two replicates that failed by oom kills. Replicate 0, which failed 8 executions, and replicate 1 which failed 6 executions, all with the same failure mode.
