v0.18.3

[rfratto]

This is release v0.18.3 of the Grafana Agent.

Upgrading

Read the migration guide for specific instructions on upgrading from older versions.

Notable changes:

This release is focused on bug fixes to the scraping service:

• In scraping service mode, the polling configuration refresh should honor timeout. (@mattdurham)
• In scraping service mode, the lifecycle reshard should happen using a goroutine. (@mattdurham)
• In scraping service mode, scraping service can deadlock when reloading during join. (@mattdurham)
• Scraping service: prevent more than one refresh from being queued at a time. (@rfratto)

These changes should help prevent a spike of failed reshards while nodes are joining and leaving the cluster.

For the full list of changes, please refer to the CHANGELOG.
