[Backport 7.58.x] [clusteragent/autoscaling] Pass correct value of internal spec to hash

[agent-platform-auto-pr]

Backport 6853e7e from #29374.

---

What does this PR do?

Update logic to pass the correct value of the internal spec to hashing function before comparing with remote spec.

Motivation

Remote/internal spec was being reported as different even though they both matched. Fixes CASCL-65

Additional Notes

Possible Drawbacks / Trade-offs

Describe how to test/QA your changes

1. Deploy a cluster with autoscaling enabled
2. Enable autoscaling via the UI
3. Check that cluster is being autoscaled / DatadogPodAutoscaler status updates

Explanation

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".
