Currently, there is an issue when running on Windows whereby under some
circumstances the Windows stats API's will begin to return errors (such
as internal timeouts) when a client is under high load, and potentially
other forms of resource contention / system states (and other unknown
cases).
When an error occurs during this collection, we then short circuit
further metrics emission from the client until the next interval.
This can be problematic if it happens for a sustained number of
intervals, as our metrics aggregator will begin to age out older
metrics, and we will eventually stop emitting various types of metrics
including `nomad.client.unallocated.*` metrics.
However, when metrics collection fails on Linux, gopsutil will in many cases
(e.g cpu.Times) silently return 0 values, rather than an error.
Here, we switch to returning empty metrics in these failures, and
logging the error at the source. This brings the behaviour into line
with Linux/Unix platforms, and although making aggregation a little
sadder on intermittent failures, will result in more desireable overall
behaviour of keeping metrics available for further investigation if
things look unusual.
The Client.allocs map now contains all AllocRunners again, not just
un-GC'd AllocRunners. Client.allocs is only pruned when the server GCs
allocs.
Also stops logging "marked for GC" twice.
This PR removes locking around commonly accessed node attributes that do
not need to be locked. The locking could cause nodes to TTL as the
heartbeat code path was acquiring a lock that could be held for an
excessively long time. An example of this is when Vault is inaccessible,
since the fingerprint is run with a lock held but the Vault
fingerprinter makes the API calls with a large timeout.

This PR fixes an issue introduced in Nomad 0.6.0 due to
https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil/issues/420. The issue arised from the
fact that the Windows stats from gopsutil reports CPUs in
percentages where we expected ticks.
