Windows agent about amonagent HOT 4 OPEN

@beardedeagle The windows agent is in a little bit of a strange situation right now. I want to use amonagent for both Windows and Linux. Currently I can not do that, because Windows process monitoring does not work. On Linux, the agent relies on sysstat, but there is nothing similar on Windows.

And I have the Python agent, found in amonagent-windows which has no been updated for the latest Amon version. The monitoring part in that one works on 100%, but I have to change the reporting method from individual server keys to automatically generated machine-ids

Whenever I have the time, I am probably make the amonagent-windows compatible and then find a way to fix the official Golang agent.

@martinrusev Only thing I can think of is perf counters.

@beardedeagle I spent a considerable amount of time with Perf counters, but they require a little bit too much Windows specific expertise, especially calculating the CPU usage for individual process and separating processes/services.

Maybe there is someone who knows more about developing Windows tools and could provide some input?!

The windows agent is really usefull. A pitty that it does not work currently.
