Updates for config > agent config.

The agent does two things:

listens for new tests you run from app.tracetest.io and 'executes' the trigger locally (in the env where it is running, which can be localhost, docker, or kubernetes) and returns the response from the trigger
listens in docker for traffic on 4317 / 4318 for OTel spans to capture the trace info and relays that to app.tracetest.io

With both the response and trace, you can build tests off of either (or both)

Add a new page for concepts > agent.

More specific explanation with a drawing illustrating what it does including how it triggers tests and listens for traces.
