I would think that if the meters aren't from the same MeterProvider, they're not identical. But upon further inspection, the way we define "identical" doesn't include the meterprovider which produced it. Therefore, I think this change is a good one as it reduced ambiguity for a corner case.

…open-telemetry#3538) Currently the specification seems to implicitly imply a duplicate instrument registration occurs across identical Meters from the same MeterProvider. This change makes that fact explicit. The alternative, having duplicate instrument registrations occur across all MeterProvides, seems unlikely the original intent. That would require global tracking beyond the scope of a MeterProvider, and the MeterProvider is stated to be the main source of configuration.
