metrics: improve accuracy of CPU gauges (#26793)

This PR changes metrics collection to actually measure the time interval between collections, rather
than assume 3 seconds. I did some ad hoc profiling, and on slower hardware (eg, my Raspberry Pi 4)
I routinely saw intervals between 3.3 - 3.5 seconds, with some being as high as 4.5 seconds. This
will generally cause the CPU gauge readings to be too high, and in some cases can cause impossibly
large values for the CPU load metrics (eg. greater than 400 for a 4 core CPU).
