Hi maintainers,
I noticed that input plugin metric_system_v2 reports fd_max as float64. However, fd_max is fixed at max int64(2^63-1 or 9223372036854775807), which exceeds the range of float64. Therefore, the data, with its loss of precision, is represented as 9.223372036854776e+18 in Metric.

Lines 166 to 169 in 68ba314
Since the metric is eventually converted to a string (see log_helper.go#L258), it would be more accurate to record fd_max directly as a string.
Alternatively, how about considering simply removing fd_max, since it's a constant on Linux anyway?
