Part of #1060
Changes
Add a metrics-advanced example, with 2 scenarios (rename, drop attributes) explained. If this direction is okay, I can add further scenarios. A lot of folks get confused by View, so hopefully these are useful examples.
Next steps would be to show how to change Histogram bounds (a common ask), drop an Instrument alltogether, changing temporality (default is cumulative, but a lot of backends need delta only) etc.
