This PR exposes UserAgent as an equivalent to a similar PR recently made for Prometheus, This allows importers (like grafana/agent) to customize the User-Agent to allow tracking which clients are sending data through Promtail.
As a secondary fix, this PR also changes the User Agent's version info to be pulled from
github.com/prometheus/common/version
rather thangithub.com/grafana/loki/pkg/build
.grafana/agent
has its own equivalent build package that sets the build version and needs a hack to ensure its own overrides take precedence. The clean fix is to get the version from the common dependency rather than the package responsible for setting the version globals.
