[receiver/hostmetricsreceiver] Gopsutil error on windows with multiple processor groups.

What happened?

Description

On a windows instance having 48 * 2 logical cpus, windows groups CPUs into batches of 64 logical cpus in a processor group, but Gopsutil's Cpu.TimesWitContext defined on the cpuscraper in here and used to by the resource detector to calculate the cpu times and utilization, indistinctly gets this data from one of the two processor groups and not all of them.

This is generating variable cpu Utilization, sometimes negative and sometimes full usage even if only half the cores are running.

This bug is reported on the gopsutil library.

Steps to Reproduce

In our case we reproduced it on a 'm5n.metal' machine in AWS with windows-server-22 but we know reports of it happening in other windows with more than one processor groups.

Expected Result

Correct Cpu Usage and times.

Actual Result

Cpu data points from one of the 2 processor groups randomly.

Collector version

v0.101.0
