What does this PR do?
#37078 removed the agent stop command from the RPM
preinst
to migrate it in the installer, while #37084 preserved somepreinst
commands in bash for upgrades from older agents. The combination of these two prevents us from stopping the agent before upgrading from an older version, leaving compiled Python files on disk after the upgrade that are not removed by an uninstallation of the agent.Motivation
