- Can we get a issue link here? I want to make sure there's no conflict with elastic/beats#47605 (doesn't look like it).
- Can you also include an integration test? You can use
os.Getpid()to use the test process' pid.

What does this PR do?
Add collection of data on how much swap memory monitored process is using. This is achieved by parsing of
/proc/[pid]/statusand getting value ofVmSwapfield. The value in the field is in KB units so we also convert original value to bytes.This is linux implementation. Implementations for windows and macos will be implemented in separate PRs.
Why is it important?
This change is needed because we've received a customer request to add this feature.
