[service/internal] Allow components to transition from PermanentError to Stopping (#10958)
#### Description
In #10058 I mentioned:

> There is a tangentially related issue with PermanentErrors and the
underlying finite state machine that governs transitions between
statuses. Currently, a PermanentError is a final state. That is, once a
component enters this state, no further transitions are allowed. In
light of the work I did on the alternative health check extension, I
believe we should allow a transition from PermanentError to Stopping to
consistently prioritize lifecycle events for components. This transition
also make sense from a practical perspective. A component in a
PermanentError state is one that has been started and is running,
although in a likely degraded state. The collector will call shutdown on
the component (when the collector is shutting down) and we should allow
the status to reflect that.

This PR makes the suggested change and updates the documentation to
reflect that. As this is an internal change, I have not included a
changelog. Also note, we can close #10058 after this as we've already
removed status aggregation from core during the recent component status
refactor.
