Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Having to divide out core counts to get normalized percentages is not always very fun

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice to offer optional metrics for CPU Usage that normalize by core count

It would also be nice to offer a summary metric which is either Used / Idle

Describe alternatives you've considered

@strawgate for which component do you miss this feature?

[strawgate]

The host metrics receiver

[github-actions]

Pinging code owners for receiver/hostmetrics: @dmitryax @braydonk. See Adding Labels via Comments if you do not have permissions to add labels yourself. For example, comment '/label priority:p2 -needs-triaged' to set the priority and remove the needs-triaged label.

Looks like there's a proposal here open-telemetry/semantic-conventions#1873

[ChrsMark]

@dmitryax @braydonk would open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#10726 cover this?
