Give Instana Agent helm chart a possiblity to configure the path to containerd.sock

Instana Agent is expecting the containerd.sock in this directory on Kubernetes nodes:

/run/containerd/containerd.sock


As we are using an RKE2 K8s cluster containerd.sock is located in /run/k3s/containerd/containerd.sock instead which results in instana-agent pods not being able to use containerd and therefore not working properly, especially with PHP tracing.


Here is documentation that shows that RKE2 places containerd.sock /run/k3s/containerd/containerd.sock


https://docs.rke2.io/reference/cli_tools


This means that the instana-agent is not working properly on an RKE2 environment.


It would be great if a variable in the instana-agent helm chart can be added to state where the containerd.sock is located. As of now we need to create symlinks on every K8s Node for it. Unfortunately these symlinks are lost when the nodes or rancher services restart.
