What does this PR do?
Fixes Agent failing to run in standalone mode.
Related to the following issue: elastic/cloud-on-k8s#5720
The root cause of the issue here is that Agent when running standalone tries to write the agentID into fleet.enc (which is encrypted former fleet.yml).
If fails because the the encryption seed was not created if the agent was not enrolled.
The fix here is to create the agent secret on run. This will not create the new key if there is one that already exists after enrollment. At it allows the agent to write the agentID into fleet.enc file.
Why is it important?
