      Add process specific (and some simple CPU state) metrics

       

      Note that in opentelemetry (and metric collection generally), process CPU time typically only holds 3 attributes: `user`, `system`, and `wait`. Having 10 attributes like system CPU time is considered overly granular and not generally useful.

       

      System-wide metrics

      system.cpu.physical.count
system.cpu.logical.count
system.cpu.frequency
system.process.count
system.process.created
system.process.context_switch
system.process.running

      Process-specific metrics

      process.cpu.time (with cpu.mode attribute for user, system, and wait)
process.cpu.utilization
process.thread.count
process.paging.faults
procss.context.switch (with switch.type as "voluntary" or "involuntary")
