Wiki page for WMI <-> Prometheus conversion about windows_exporter HOT 7 CLOSED

I've filled out what I can. Some time/denominator aspects remain unclear.

If you give me access, I'll fill this out.

As suggested by @brian-brazil https://github.com/brian-brazil, we
should have a wiki page for how to map WMI types to Prometheus types. I
made a start, and then tried to PR it, but it seems Github does not support
wiki-PRs for some reason.
So, workaround: File an issue with the page markdown :) This is mostly a
skeleton so far, I added the few types we use in logical_disk, but I
expect we'll continually edit this as we make progress.
Prometheus and WMI CounterTypes

WMI performance counters hava many types, and those need to be mapped to
Prometheus' types. Below is a listing of WMI types, the Prometheus type
that should be used, and any processing that needs to be done.

This applies to WMI classes inheriting Win32_PerfRawData.

Can't you guys edit the project wiki? Not sure how to open it up, let's figure it out

Yup, works well.
