fix(monitoring): turn off Alloy and InfluxDB usage telemetry

Both phone home on a timer: every alloy pod to stats.grafana.org (~135 a day each) and influxd to telemetry.influxdata.com (56 a day). Egress policy denies it, so this only removed log noise and wasted SYNs; switch it off at the source like Loki's reporting_enabled: false. --disable-reporting per the "alloy run" reference (chart alloy.extraArgs); INFLUXD_REPORTING_DISABLED per the InfluxDB v2 config options.
