Backport

Important

This is only a partial backport: only description refinements are backported for 15 advanced options:

  • (win|mac|linux).advanced.events.hash.(md5|sha1|sha256)
    Compute and include (MD5|SHA-1|SHA-256) hashes for processes and libraries in events? This will increase CPU usage and event sizes. If any user event filter or trustlists reference this hash type, Endpoint will ignore this setting and automatically enable this hash type.
  • (win|mac|linux).advanced.alerts.hash.(md5|sha1)
    Compute and include (MD5|SHA-1) hashes for processes and libraries in alerts? This will increase CPU usage and alert sizes. If any user exceptionlist, trustlist, or blocklists reference this hash type, Endpoint will ignore this setting and automatically enable this hash type.

This will backport the following commits from main to 8.16:

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The plan is to backport this PR to all open branches:
> - `8.18`/`8.x`/`9.0`/`main` will contain all modifications,
> - but `8.16`/`8.17` manual backports will only contain the description
refinement
