What's missing?

Currently we have a semconv for shared memory in the system namespace, this is system.memory.shared. Since this is a Linux specific metric we should rename this to system.memory.linux.shared, this avoids confusion to the end user if they try and use this metric for platforms other than Linux.

For some background this semconv was introduced a while ago in #933. I have implemented this in the collector-contrib in a PR here.

The feedback was to change the name to of this semconv to be linux specific.

Describe the solution you'd like

Change the semconv from system.memory.shared to system.memory.linux.shared.
