Provide capability to automatically compute metric names

[tomkerkhove]

Proposal

Provide the capability to automatically compute metric names to make it more flexible.

Users would have to define a pattern in the server configuration that will be used to generate metric names, when none are specified.

An example that was provided is:
<azure>_<short_resource_name>_<azureMetricConfiguration.metricName>_<azureMetricConfiguration.aggregation.type>

This defined metric naming convention would need to provide a tokenization mechanism so that people can define literal and placeholders that compose the metric name.

Tokens we have to provide is:

• Full name for the resource type (ie. ApiManagement)
• Short name for the resource type (ie. apim)
• Name of Azure metric
• Aggregation of Azure metric
• Dimension of Azure metric

This came up as part of discussion #1605 proposed by @salehabbas.
