Add Windows Service status metrics

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently there is not a metric that can relay the running status of a Windows Service.

Describe the solution you'd like

In the hostmetrics receiver there is a library called github.com/shirou/gopsutil that is able to tap into Windows Service running status data and it would be helpful to gain access and scrape this information along with attributes that describe the service. This should most likely be an opt-in to perform this function. The process_scraper_windows.go module could be the home for the method(s).

This is the corresponding library that can gain access to that information. https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil/blob/master/winservices/winservices.go
