### Issue
For tasks running with `raw_exec` task driver, memory related metrics aren't being exported. Is this an expected behaviour?
### Reproduction steps
Run a task as `raw_exec`:
```hcl
job "sleep" {
datacenters = ["dc1"]
type = "service"
group "app" {
count = 1
network {
mode = "bridge"
port "python-http" {
to = "8888"
}
}
task "app" {
driver = "raw_exec"
config {
command = "bash"
args = ["-c", "sleep infinity"]
}
}
}
}
```
When querying for metrics, notice that `nomad_client_allocs_memory_usage` is not exported for this task. If the task driver is changed to `exec` then memory related metrics start showing up.
However, this isn't the case for CPU related metrics. For eg `nomad_client_allocs_cpu_total_ticks` works for raw_exec

Research direction
Start by reproducing the provided Nomad job with the raw_exec driver and compare its exported metrics with the same job using exec. Trace the task-driver metric handling for memory usage, then verify that nomad_client_allocs_memory_usage is exported for raw_exec while the existing CPU metric behavior remains intact.
