What does this PR do? What is the motivation?

Documents the untagged openmetrics.max_returned_metrics_reached metric in the Agent Data Security telemetry collection table.

The metric counts OpenMetrics check runs that exceed the configured max_returned_metrics limit, which is currently a silent metric-drop condition. It is produced by DataDog/integrations-core#24588 and allowlisted into the built-in checks Agent Telemetry profile by DataDog/datadog-agent#53794.

The metric is intentionally untagged, and this change touches only content/en/data_security/agent.md.

Onboarding governance: an ASUP issue will be created separately and linked here.

Do not merge until both code changes are merged and the first Agent release containing the complete path is GA. RC payload inspection and ddcoat query validation are still pending.

Merge readiness

For Datadog employees:

AI assistance

AI-assisted research and initial draft; the metric name and semantics were verified against the implementation PRs and manually reviewed.

Additional notes

The row is placed in the Checks subsection of the Telemetry collection table, directly below checks.execution_time. The documented name matches the profile entry added in DataDog/datadog-agent#53794.
