[Fleet] Add Host.ID to the Agent overview. #182680

Describe the feature:

Nothing earth shattering here, just a minor QoL improvement for operators: Add the host.id information to the Agent overview page. The information is collected by Agent already I believe.

Describe a specific use case for the feature: Some asset management tools (like Jamf) have a hard time digesting the output of host.name or they don't allow you to search for agent.id because the tool doesn't know the data exists/collects the data. Host.id can often be used as an alternative here.

Let's take Jamf as an example. I need to lookup a machine that's reporting with host.name daves-macbook-pro-local, with agent ID cf82792e-d26a-4723-8b95-8d240ea50702 and Based on the current Agent overview, I have a couple of options I can use to search Jamf:

Host.id seems to be generated of the machine's UUID. I can search for that output in Jamf and I can be fairly certain that the data remains stable over time.
