Backport
This PR is auto-generated from #31258 to be assessed for backporting due to the inclusion of the label backport/1.20.x.
The below text is copied from the body of the original PR.
Description
This PR is an OSS patch, please view the associated ENT PR here: https://github.com/hashicorp/vault-enterprise/pull/8444
What does this PR do?
This PR adds clearer logs on when the automated license utilization reporting is enabled and disabled. The PR correspondingly updates the docs. In addition, some logs from license exporter have been updated too, so the docs are updated on these logs.
Why is this PR needed?
This PR brings about the changes that remove the confusion that came about from an escalation from a customer that said the automated license reporting continues to be working even when disabled because they do no see the log
activity: there is no reporting agent configured, skipping counts reporting. This is expected however, since the code has been updated after manual reporting has been enabled to work all the time, thus always creating an agent for census. So this message cannot be relied on to indicate that this feature is disabled. For more information, please check comments on this Jira ticket: https://hashicorp.atlassian.net/browse/VAULT-36896?focusedCommentId=764218TODO only if you're a HashiCorp employee
