Add runtime metrics collection to the docker source #1545

@binarylogic

Description

@binarylogic

Docker has a runtime metrics feature. I'd like to collect this data, but I have a couple of important questions:

  1. How would this overlap with a server_metrics source? A source that collect host level CPU, memory, disk, and network metrics.
  2. Does it make sense to collect this data all in the same docker source, or should we rename the docker source to docker_logs so that we can add a new docker_metrics source?
