Remove experimental from dogstatsd stream socket option.

[StephenWakely]

What does this PR do?

Removes the warning and exposes the dogstatsd_stream_socket configuration option.

Motivation

The dogstatsd_stream_socket option has been available in the agent since 7.50. PR. It has been hidden and a warning dogstatsd_stream_socket is not yet supported, run it at your own risk was shown when it was used.

We have dogfooded the option extensively and successfully, so there is no reason to not support this option.

Suggested change

	## Listen for Dogstatsd metrics on a Unix Socket using stream mode (SOCK_STREAM, *nix only).
	## Listen for Dogstatsd metrics on a Unix domain socket using stream mode (SOCK_STREAM, Linux and MacOS only).

[StephenWakely]

I think it should work on AIX as well.

Explanation

Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%

Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:

• ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
• ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
• ➖ = no significant change in performance

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".

Replicate Execution Details

We run multiple replicates for each experiment/variant. However, we allow replicates to be automatically retried if there are any failures, up to 8 times, at which point the replicate is marked dead and we are unable to run analysis for the entire experiment. We call each of these attempts at running replicates a replicate execution. This section lists all replicate executions that failed due to the target crashing or being oom killed.

Note: In the below tables we bucket failures by experiment, variant, and failure type. For each of these buckets we list out the replicate indexes that failed with an annotation signifying how many times said replicate failed with the given failure mode. In the below example the baseline variant of the experiment named experiment_with_failures had two replicates that failed by oom kills. Replicate 0, which failed 8 executions, and replicate 1 which failed 6 executions, all with the same failure mode.

experiment_with_failures	baseline	0 (x8) 1 (x6)	Oom killed		Debug Dashboard
