The
process
metricset did not behave very well when being run as a user other than root. It would try to read the private process information of all processes on a system, and output the resulting permission errors.This changes it to catch permission errors to allow running it as any user. It will only report on processes that are readable.
This should also allow re-enabling the unit and system test that were failing in CI.
