Add Support for Synthetic Monitoring Checks

[petewall]

I really like this idea. Is there a way to programmatically configure synthetic monitoring? Can we do something with annotations on a service or ingress object?

Also cool would be to put a button inside K8s monitoring on Grafana Cloud.

This is more for private probes, by deploying the Synthetic Monitoring Agent within a given cluster to use as a probe source, instead of the publicly available probe locations in Grafana Cloud. There is already helm chart grafana/synthetic-monitoring-agent https://github.com/grafana/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/synthetic-monitoring-agent
