imds: expose instance metadata as an io.systemd.Metrics provider

When systemd-imds is invoked as a Varlink service (via the new
systemd-imds-metrics.socket), it now acts as an io.systemd.Metrics
provider for systemd-report. It connects to systemd-imdsd over the
existing io.systemd.InstanceMetadata interface to acquire the real
data and re-exposes the detected cloud vendor plus the well-known
hostname, region, zone and public IPv4/IPv6 fields as metrics in the
io.systemd.InstanceMetadata.* namespace.

The metrics logic lives entirely on the client side
(imds-tool-metrics.c); systemd-imdsd is unchanged. Each metric is
acquired on demand with a blocking call to the daemon, benefiting from
its local cache. Fields that are unset or unsupported by the vendor are
simply omitted.

The metrics socket is statically enabled into sockets.target.wants/.
