Don't generate a config when disabling logs collection with hints (el…

…astic#9305) (elastic#9357)

When `co.elastic.logs/disable="true"` is used in a container, an
incomplete event is generated, what provokes errors about configurations
with missing fields. Don't generate configs in these cases.

If after that a builder doesn't generate any configuration,
it still generates an event but with with an empty list of configs
instead of an event without a config field.

(cherry picked from commit 97cc20f)
