'iowait' and 'steal' indicate specific idle/wait states, which shouldn't
be counted into CPU Utilisation. Also see
https://github.com/prometheus-operator/kube-prometheus/pull/796 and
https://github.com/kubernetes-monitoring/kubernetes-mixin/pull/667.
Per the iostat man page:
%idle
Show the percentage of time that the CPU or CPUs were idle and the
system did not have an outstanding disk I/O request.
%iowait
Show the percentage of time that the CPU or CPUs were idle during
which the system had an outstanding disk I/O request.
%steal
Show the percentage of time spent in involuntary wait by the
virtual CPU or CPUs while the hypervisor was servicing another
virtual processor.

Add a fallback to Buffers+Cached+MemFree+Slab for older Linux kernels
where the MemAvailable metric is not available for memory utilization.

The `instance:node_memory_swap_io_pages:rate1m` rule was intended to
measure the amount of memory pressure a system is under, but its name is
a bit misleading (it specifically refers to swap), and the rate of
`node_vmstat_pgmajfault` is a better metric for memory pressure
(see #1524).
This commit renames `instance:node_memory_swap_io_pages:rate1m` to
`instance:node_vmstat_pgmajfault:rate1m`, and defines it as
`rate(node_vmstat_pgmajfault{%(nodeExporterSelector)s}[1m])`. The
dashboards are updated accordingly.
