As it turns out, makeBuckets always returns at least the +Inf
bucket. So a native histogram will never be rendered. The canonical
way of marking a native histogram, even one without any observations
yet, is to have at least one span.

With this commit, a native histogram is rendered if there is at least
one span. Otherwise, a classic histogram is rendered.

I have also made the documentation a bit more explicit about this and re-added a classic histogram example.

Thanks!
I think I did the same in pushgateway, so I'll push a PR with the same logic.

In PGW, we are rendering both types of buckets in case both exist, so that should be fine.
