Cherry-pick of PR #18003 to 7.x branch. Original message:
What does this PR do?
This PR is based on #17960 and waiting for it to go in.
At the moment when we omit download, retry, process or management.mode section in config agent will panic and die.
This PR allows these section to be empty (skipped) and the only thing needed are configuration of what the user wants to monitor (output and sources)
Why is it important?
To ease up using of standalone agent and not requiring configuration options user does not even understand.
