Description

### Proposal:

As dockershim is deprecated in kubelet for kubernetes, it would be great to get an input plugin for CRI environments/runtimes.

### Current behavior:

The kubernetes input plugin does not fully replace the docker input plugin, as metrics like "exit_code" of containers (and many more) are missing

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Kubernetes and Docker input plugins and the linked Kubernetes runtime guidance. Determine the CRI or containerd scope and which missing metrics, including container exit_code, must be supported. Done means a defined input plugin for CRI environments that provides the required replacement metrics.
