Adding system-scanner

[bblinder]

Adding system-scanner scripts, meant to check/report info about the OS and various runtime environments installed on a machine.

Collecting accurate information about operating systems, their architectures, runtimes, and the OTel Collector's environment is crucial for implementation and troubleshooting purposes. However, this requires knowledge of OS-specific commands (e.g., bash vs. PowerShell) and runtime detection, which can vary significantly depending on the programming language and OS (.NET, Java, Python, Node.js, etc.).

This project is a working draft that automates some of these steps as an initial proof-of-concept.

Thank you for this contribution! This is a great starting point and I'm sure there is a lot of other information it could be used to discover.

One idea is to have a script to check for k8s clusters and then provide the current configmap for any otel resources

Lots of possibilities!
