Netdata v2.0.2 is a patch release to address issues discovered since v2.0.1.

This patch release provides the following bug fixes and updates:

• Reduced the number of alert snapshots sent to the Netdata Cloud by introducing a mechanism to bypass unnecessary snapshot scheduling (#19042 @stelfrag).
• Fixed an issue preventing the Netdata MSI installer from registering Netdata with the Windows Event Log (#19041 @thiagoftsm).
• Disabled go.d/nvidia-smi loop mode on Windows to address a potential issue where the nvidia_smi process, when running in loop mode, could persist after a Netdata service restart (#19039, #19040 @ilyam8).
• Refactored the database chart generation logic in the windows/mssql collector to create individual charts for each database (#19035 @thiagoftsm).
• Updated the Netdata service configuration on FreeBSD to guarantee proper startup order after system boot (#19032, #19033 @ilyam8).
• Fixed unnecessary sanitization of label values in various windows collectors (#19019, #19027, #19028, #19036 @ilyam8).
• Fixed an issue where the interface option in the go.d/ping module did not correctly apply the specified network interface to the ICMP echo requests (#19016 @ilyam8).
• Added support for SQL Server Express metrics in the windows/mssql collector (#18992 @thiagoftsm).
