Display the stability status of the Elastic Agent (#17336) (#17578)

* Display the stability status of the Elastic Agent

The Elastic Agent is currently Alpha quality software and is not ready
to be used in a production environment, this commit make it obvious in
the logs on startup and at enrollment.

Note this doesn't use the cfgwarn helpers for two reasons:

- We aren't using zap in the Elastic Agent code.
- We also need to print on standout.

This also add a "warn" package where the messaging can be edited once.

Fixes: #17328

* Add a changelog entry

(cherry picked from commit b70e44b)
