Metricbeat System module CPU missing fields of nice, iowait, softirq, irq, and others for Windows and its reporting all for Linux VMS.

Earlier we used the 6.1 version and its reported all the values but after the upgrade, it's reporting only a few.

I tried with multiple new versions 7.10.0, 7.11.0, and 7.13.1

Below are the logs of 6.1 and 7.10 versions diff. Missing the bold marked fields in new version.

## 6.1.1 logs:-

Hi @phani_akkina !

As far as I know these are not metrics for windows systems, as @MarianaD informed me we plan to update the [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/exported-fields-system.html) soon to make it clear which metrics are reported/supported per os.
