Support getting started with the agent configuration

Release notes

Users of the GitLab agent for Kubernetes can fully appreciate its capabilities when configured manually. This enables pull-based deployments, operational container scanning and sharing of an agent connection with other projects. Until now, moving from a configuration-less agent to a configuration based one was a major step as you had to learn the schema of the configuration file, and that required the consumption of GitLab documentation. To simplify this step, we are providing a configuration editor interface. The interface can be used to create the first version of a configuration file.

Problem to solve

As an Agent user, I don't know the right syntax to use when I need to define or edit my configuration
