leases: Add metrics to etcd leases #9778

This patch adds four metrics (leases granted, leases revoked, leases renewed, and the average TTL of leases) to the leases package for easier debugging and visibility into outstanding leases.

There's not currently a way to monitor the number of leases that are granted or revoked within etcd. It's currently possible to see the number of leases expired via server_lease_expired_total, but not the number initially granted nor those being renewed.

This makes it tough to determine the current number of leases held, and determine why leases are not being cleaned up. This patch makes the behavior described in, for example, #9395 easier to debug and understand as it makes it clear that leases are never being revoked, rather than renewed forever.

Please read https://github.com/coreos/etcd/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#contribution-flow.

Given #9764, I'm not sure whether these should live in the etcd_debugging namespace or the etcd namespace.

We will decide whether to keep debugging namespace in our next community meeting https://github.com/coreos/etcd#community-meetings.

@gyuho I am not a fan of many metrics. I hope normal users can only need to pay attention to a small set of well thought metrics. Other metrics are for debugging.

@xiang90 Agree. I will go through all metrics, and select a few important ones (e.g. DB size in use).

lease renew is not a cluster wide operation, it only goes through the leader node at least for now. needs to add some clarification here.

pow(2,23) * 1 == 8388608 seconds == 97 days?

Do we really need this high upper bound?

Leases can be up to 9E9 seconds, so setting this fairly high seemed reasonable, but I'm happy to decrease it if you'd prefer!

Then, can you update the comment instead? 1 second -> 3 months?

Also rename to ttl_total to be consistent with other metrics.

Ok!

This patch adds four metrics to the `leases` package for easier
debugging.
