Conversation
Adds Azure Linux 4 (x86_64 + aarch64) support: - supported_distros.py: add '4' to the 'azurelinux' key in supported_dists_x86_64 and supported_dists_aarch64 so the extension no longer rejects Azure Linux 4 with 'Unsupported operating system'. - agent.py install(): Azure Linux 4 ships journald-only with no rsyslog pre-installed, so AMA's Syslog collection produces no data until rsyslog is present. Mirror the existing Debian 12/13 and Amazon Linux 2023 handling by installing rsyslog via dnf when missing. Validated end-to-end on a real Azure Linux 4.0 VM (AMA 1.42.0): uninstall AMA + rsyslog, then reinstall -> rsyslog is auto-installed by install() and Heartbeat/Syslog/Perf/InsightsMetrics/*_CL all flow to the LAW.
