Note that an attempt was already made to try and bundle the hostmetricsreceiver with Elastic Agent in #4706 but CI failed Serverless tests 🤷 on the following error:

>>> (windows-amd64-2022-fleet) Test output (sudo) (stdout): Error: error starting service: failed to start service (Elastic Agent): The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
