This PR adds support for BMS machines to the resource detection library.
I'm planning to upgrade the resource detection processor within the opentelemetry-collector-contrib repository to make use of this new BMS detector, aiming to enable native BMS support in the otel collector.
Due to the absence of a metadata server in the BMS environment, we rely on the presence of BMS_PROJECT_ID, BMS_REGION, and BMS_INSTANCE_ID environment variables as an indication that the collector is running on BMS machines. Customers are expected to manually enter these variables into the Ops Agent's collector using the DefaultEnvironment parameter in the /etc/systemd/system.conf file.
