When metrics are enabled, the action now checks if the CloudWatch agent is already running before applying configuration. If the agent is not running, it starts the agent with the configuration using `fetch-config`. If the agent is already running, it appends the configuration using `append-config` (previous behavior). This ensures backwards compatibility as the native OTEL integration removes the default agent startup from RunsOn instances. Fixes #25
