Enrollment handing for containerized {fleet}-managed agents

Beginning with version 8.18, for {fleet}-managed {agents} that run in a containerized environment (including Docker, Kubernetes, and others), enrollment handling is managed as follows: * **Enrollment Verification:** The agent checks stored enrollment conditions stored in the container environment and re-enrolls only when necessary. * **Unenrollment Handling:** If an {agent} is unenrolled through the {fleet} UI but still has a valid enrollment token provided via environment variables, the next container restart will cause it to re-enroll automatically. In versions lower than 8.18, an unenrolled agent remains unenrolled and does not re-enroll, even if a valid enrollment token is still available.
