[Bug 1901042] [NEW] Unable to inspect configuration of running google-guest-agent

[David Krauser]

Public bug reported:

We have a cloud-images qualification test for the google-guest-agent to
ensure the following daemons are enabled for GCE images:

- accounts_daemon
- clock_skew_daemon
- network_daemon

I could not find a way to inspect a currently running agent to determine
the configuration in use. The agent only takes the following actions:

- run
- install
- remove
- start
- stop
- help

An additional action to list the configuration in use would be very
helpful.

I also looked at the output of journalctl -u google-guest-agent.service,
but the agent does not log configuration settings in the log, either.
