Motivation

Adding a bit more system information to telemetry.

• In add logging for basic container information #7855 we introduced a container_info event that we haven't really been using all that much because it doesn't container super useful information. I extended it to have more information about the container.
• The session payload mostly said "Linux" which wasn't all that helpful. This method that we already use in pro gives us finer-grained system information. instead of Linux it will now say something like Linux,5.19.0-32-generic,x86_64

Why both, and the seemingly duplicated data? I didn't want to send uname.version as part of the session payload. Most information we need is in the system string we generate with this new method, and having that in the session payload will be very useful. container_information has it's own utility and having access to the version field there may be helpful for some cases.

Changes

• Add more system information to session data
