Thanks @skartikey! Can we please split the PR into adding the migration and another PR for removing the option. This way we can merge the migration part now and remove the option shortly before v1.40.0 i.e. after the last bug-fix release for v1.39.x... Same for the other PRs...
The 'from_beginning' option in inputs.tail was deprecated in v1.34.0 for removal in v1.40.0, replaced by 'initial_read_offset'.

Summary
The
from_beginningoption ininputs.tailwas deprecated in v1.34.0 for removal in v1.40.0, replaced byinitial_read_offset. This adds a migration that mapsfrom_beginning = truetoinitial_read_offset = "beginning"andfalseto"saved-or-end"ontelegraf config migrate. Wheninitial_read_offsetis already set it takes precedence and is kept, droppingfrom_beginning; if the two disagree the migration warns. The option removal ships separately (#19132) so users can migrate while still on v1.39.x.Checklist
