Documentation on tag key restrictions do not match Stackdriver. #666

Description

@kunalq

The documentation states that valid ASCII printable characters "between 32 and 126, inclusive" are valid tag keys for metrics; in fact, Stackdriver appears to accept only alphanumeric characters.

I received the following error when attempting to include forward slashes in the label (to match our tracing labels):

Apr 11, 2019 1:40:29 PM io.opencensus.exporter.stats.stackdriver.StackdriverExporterWorker registerMetricDescriptor
WARNING: ApiException thrown when creating MetricDescriptor.
