 * lws_metrics_tag allows your object to accumulate OpenMetrics-style
 * descriptive tags before accounting for it with a metrics object at the end.
 *
 * Tags should represent low entropy information that is likely to repeat
 * identically, so, eg, http method name, not eg, latency in us which is
 * unlikely to be seen the same twice.
 *
 * Tags are just a list of name=value pairs, used for qualifying the final
 * metrics entry with decorations in additional dimensions.  For example,
 * rather than keep individual metrics on methods, scheme, mountpoint, result
 * code, you can keep metrics on http transactions only, and qualify the
 * transaction metrics entries with tags that can be queried on the metrics
 * backend to get the finer-grained information.
 *
 * http_srv{code="404",mount="/",method="GET",scheme="http"} 3
 *
 * For OpenMetrics the tags are converted to a { list } and appended to the base
 * metrics name before using with actual metrics objects, the same set of tags
 * on different transactions resolve to the same qualification string.

 * 1) aggregation by sum or mean, to absorb multiple scalar readings

 *  - go / no-go ratio counting

 *  - min / max for averaged values
 *  - period the stats covers
 *
 * 2) aggregation by histogram, to absorb a range of outcomes that may occur
 *    multiple times

 *  - add named buckets to histogram
 *  - bucket has a 64-bit count
 *  - bumping a bucket just increments the count if already exists, else adds
