Description
### Nomad version
Nomad v0.12.3 (2db8abd9620dd41cb7bfe399551ba0f7824b3f61)
### Operating system and Environment details
This happens on both windows nodes and linux nodes
### Issue
Nomad reports wrong (`0`) _nomad.client.allocs.memory.usage_ metric for jobs with raw_exec driver
### Reproduction steps
deploy:
```
job "fake-joblinux" {
region = "global"
datacenters = [ "some-dc" ]
type = "service"
update {
stagger = "10s"
max_parallel = 1
}
group "fake-service-api-grouplinux" {
count = 1
constraint {
attribute = "${attr.kernel.name}"
value = "linux"
}
task "fake-api" {
driver = "raw_exec"
config {
command = "ping"
args = ["8.8.8.8"]
}
resources {
cpu = "200"
memory = "200"
}
}
}
}
```

Research direction
Start by deploying the provided raw_exec job on a Linux or Windows node and querying the allocation's /v1/metrics endpoint. Compare nomad.client.allocs.memory.usage with the job's configured memory and verify that the metric no longer reports 0 for raw_exec allocations.
