Description
## Feature Request
Opening a feature request kicks off a discussion.
As discussed in https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/pull/7763#issuecomment-676801651
### Proposal:
Let the default value of these be the same:
* `agent` for `processors.ifname`
* `agent_host` for `inputs.snmp`
* `agent_address` for `inputs.sflow`
### Current behavior:
The default value (agent) mostly never useful.
### Desired behavior:
The default value should be a logical one that makes sense or most users would not need to change.

Research direction
Start by reading the processors.ifname, inputs.snmp, and inputs.sflow plugin entry points and the discussion linked in the issue. Compare their current default values and review the related issues #14111, #14112, #14117, and #14899. Done means the defaults are logically aligned and the relevant plugin tests or configuration expectations pass.
