Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing crowdstrike_falcon table and the falconctl -g --tags output described in the issue. Compare that with the falconctl_options table and Fleet issue #32239 before deciding whether tags belong as columns or in a related table; done means the design is agreed and tags are queryable without the old table's compatibility concerns.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This would spit out the output of falconctl -g --tags on Linux, either comma-separated for multiple tags or maybe a new table with rows for each tag rather than forcing crowdstrike_falcon to have multiple rows for this one attribute.

Posting here because this is probably a better spot to add this work vs. the falconctl_options table that Fleet maintains (see https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/32239), given that that table uses the old Kolide-style API that exposes some rather thorny implementation details ("is not set" being returned as column values). So instead of breaking BC with that table on our side, maybe we can add compat here and point folks to the new table here for a cleaner querying experience.

If folks like the idea/agree on a design one way or the other (@jc0b?), I can probably do the impl work.
