[Configuration] Append logic for merging JVM/OTLP configurations fix
The CWA was unable to correctly append JVM/OTLP configurations when using the config (append) action. This change addresses this issue by allowing customers to append multiple configurations of this type. @lisguo #1870
[Configuration] Add support for EC2 metadata as dimensions
Fixed an issue where the agent was unable to use the ${aws: formatting to substitute dimensions with EC2 metadata information or tags. @lisguo #1876
[Configuration] Add support for EC2 tags as dimensions for host metrics
Fixed an issue where the agent only supports raw key/value pairs for the append_dimensions section of the host metrics config. This fix allows the agent to support dynamic AutoScalingGroup dimension using EC2 metadata. @lisguo #1892
[Logs] Memory leak fix when using publish_multi_logs flag
This bug fix addressing a memory leak issue when using the publish_multi_logs flag with dynamically determined log destinations in CloudWatch Logs. This was due to the agent not correctly closing open goroutines for associated log files. @dricross #1848
[Contrib] Fixed messaging system logic
Bug fix to facilitate the proper linking of cross service traces @sky333999 amazon-contributing/opentelemetry-collector-contrib#368
[Agent] Windows startup issue fix
There was an error in the Agent where it would fail to start on windows on stderr. This change updates the agent control scripts to address the issue. @movence #1906

[Packaging] Updated OTeL JMX jar used by the agent
The CWA was using a custom build of the OpenTelemetry JMX Metrics Gatherer JAR. There has been several newer versions released upstream that contain bug fixes for JMX metrics etc. This change removes the custom build in favor of using the upstream version. This also reduced the size of the agent by 200MB.
