Promtail is deprecated and no longer shipped by Grafana. This commit replaces the promtail job and package with Grafana Alloy, which provides the same syslog ingestion functionality via its native loki.source.syslog and loki.write components. Changes: - Add jobs/alloy: monit, spec, control script and Alloy HCL config template with syslog receiver (TCP/UDP) and loki.write pipeline - Add packages/alloy: packaging script and spec - Remove jobs/promtail and packages/promtail entirely - Update manifests/loki.yml to use the alloy job; fix idle_timeout to use duration string (300s) instead of bare integer - Update .final_builds indexes for job and package (promtail -> alloy) - Update config/blobs.yml to reference the Alloy binary blob - Update scripts/update-the-blobs.sh to download Alloy releases from GitHub (grafana/alloy) instead of Promtail - Update scripts/ssl/ cert configs and create-tls-certs.sh for Alloy - Update .github/workflows/version_bump_and_new_release.yml for Alloy - Update README.md to reflect Alloy instead of Promtail
