Hostmetrics Receiver

If you recall from the Receivers portion of the workshop, we defined the Host Metrics Receiver to generate metrics about the host system, which are scraped from various sources. To enable the receiver, we must include the hostmetrics receiver in the metrics pipeline.

In the metrics pipeline, add hostmetrics to the metrics receivers section.
