Add system as a data_source and update metric definitions
What does this MR do?
Related to #322557 (closed).
Adds system
as a possible data_source
for metric definitions, signifying data coming from the underlying operating system.
Also, removes ruby
as a data_source
as I found no viable use cases for it. system
should supersede it as a catch-all config/OS file data source identifier. More discussion at #322557 (comment 567927816).
