Title: (maint) killing the agents could disguise issues with PE

...not being in a sane state after install

Previously we were stopping the agents, running an `agent -t` and then starting the service.

This could mask issues when the installer leaves the agent's service in a state where a restart is required.

This will alone will not catch the issue in #12373 as it was a case depending on different answers than we supply. But it will safe guard against this kind of issue in the future.
