Renames the privileged sidecar container in the DaemonSet pod from ebpf to collector-host (its CONTAINER_NAME env follows). The container ships node_exporter and other non-eBPF host components, so the old name was misleading when eBPF features are disabled.

  • Values API is unchanged: ebpf.* (and the deprecated beyla.* compat) keep working as-is; the toggle stays ebpf.enabled.
  • Image repositories and mounted paths are unchanged.
  • Chart version 0.1.44 -> 0.1.45; the rename rolls out as a normal DaemonSet rolling update on the next helm upgrade.

Verified: helm lint, helm template (renders name: collector-host with the unchanged collector-ebpf image), and all 19 chart tests pass.

The privileged sidecar ships node_exporter and other non-eBPF host
components, so naming it ebpf was misleading, especially for users who
disable eBPF features. Values keys (ebpf.*, beyla.* compat) are
unchanged; only the rendered pod container name and its CONTAINER_NAME
env change. The rename rolls out with the next DaemonSet update.
