Jan-Otto Kröpke d819362150 mixin: add alerts for the opt-in collectors

Every optional collector of the mixin now has alerts, generated only with
that collector enabled in _config.collectors: clock source, disk drive
status, page file usage, license status, scheduled task results, pending
updates, Hyper-V WMI and replication health, failover cluster nodes,
resources, groups and shared volumes, Storage Spaces pool and virtual disk
health, DHCP scope exhaustion and DNS zone transfer failures. The alerts
of the pagefile, diskdrive and license collectors join the memory, disk
and system groups; the other collectors get a group of their own.

New knobs: taskSelector, sharedVolumeSelector, pagefileUsageThreshold,
dhcpScopeFreeWarningThreshold, dhcpScopeFreeCriticalThreshold and
updatePendingDuration. The test configuration enables every optional
collector and tests/optional.test.yaml covers the new alerts.

Documentation

This directory contains documentation of the collectors in the windows_exporter, with information such as what metrics are exported, any flags for additional configuration, and some example usage in alerts and queries.

The alert runbooks describe how to diagnose and mitigate alerts from the Windows exporter mixin. Preview the runbook site from the repository root with hugo server --source docs; its dedicated GitHub Actions workflow publishes default-branch changes to GitHub Pages.

Running as a least-privilege service account describes the rights the exporter needs and which collectors lose data without administrator rights.
