Description
Updates the APM decision tree to address feedback from @eedugon including:
Note: In #4669 @eedugon mentioned that where the user is running APM Server (edge machine vs centrally) doesn't technically determine whether they must use Fleet-managed or APM Server binary. However, the goal of this section is to help a new user make a decision based on several factors not to be a complete reference of all implementations that are or aren't possible with Elastic APM. Is there anything we can change about the intro to the "Help me decide" section to make that clearer? @bmorelli25 any thoughts here?
