What does this PR do?

This PR adds the possibility to specify apm sample rate in elastic agent APM configuration

Why is it important?

Specifying a sample rate allows controlling the ingestion rate, reducing overhead and storage requirements when self-monitoring is active

I'm not seeing any validation for the value of SamplingRate. Should there be any? I assume the value of SamplingRate should be a positive number lower than 1?

According to the APM documentation https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/go/current/configuration.html#config-transaction-sample-rate it should be a float between 0.0 and 1.0

If we have to add a validation also on agent side we would need to rely on ucfg module as we do for all the rest of the config although I would prefer to leave that to any validation performed in the apm module
