Bugfixes

• Fix an issue where the azure exporter was not correctly gathering subscription scoped metrics when only one region was configured (@kgeckhart)

• Fixed an issue where creating a prometheus.exporter.postgres component with
  multiple data_source_names would result in an error. (@thampiotr)

• Fix a bug with the logs pipeline in static mode which prevented it from shutting down cleanly.
