Description

Currently, it's pretty damn hard to stop rudder-agent (cf-agent) on a node if you want to, because:
  1. The CFEngine policy checks the cf-execd and cf-serverd processes and starts them if they're not running
  2. A cron job runs every 5 minutes to check that cf-execd is running and starts it if not

Some times, we want to stop cf-agent for a good reason (ie, running a test, or during an upgrade like in #2792).

It would be good to be able to touch a file that would just disable all these checks, for example /opt/rudder/etc/disable-agent.
