Steps to reproduce

1. Install telegraf 1.23.4
2. Generate sample config file with filters, e.g.
   telegraf --input-filter agent:global_tags --output-filter agent:global_tags config >old_style.conf
3. Generate a sample config to reproduce the bug being fixed, e.g.
   telegraf config --input-filter agent:global_tags --output-filter agent:global_tags >old_bug.conf
4. Install telegraf 1.24.1
5. Generate sample config files again, e.g.
   telegraf --input-filter agent:global_tags --output-filter agent:global_tags config >new_bug.conf
6. telegraf config --input-filter agent:global_tags --output-filter agent:global_tags >new_style.conf

Expected behavior

Steps 5 & 6 should produce the same file according to the notes on #11282:

Originally only telegraf --section-filter inputs --input-filter cpu config was supported, where the filter flags were required to > be before the command config. For backwards compatibility this is still supported

Actual behavior

The fix simply flips the bug to the old format of the command line with the output from steps 2+6 being the same and the outputs from 3+5 being the same.
