By default, when metrics are enabled, then each Praefect will expose
information about how many read-only repositories there are, which
requires Praefect to query the database. First, this will result in the
same metrics being exposed by every Praefect given that the database is
shared between all of them. And second, this will cause one query per
Praefect per scraping run. This cost does add up and generate quite some
load on the database, especially so if there is a lot of repositories in
that database, up to a point where it may overload the database
completely.

Fix this issue by splitting metrics which hit the database into a
separate endpoint "/db_metrics". This allows admins to set up a separate
scraper with a different scraping interval for this metric, and
furthermore it gives the ability to only scrape this metric for one of
the Praefect instances so the work isn't unnecessarily duplicated.

Given that this is a breaking change which will get backported, we must
make this behaviour opt-in for now. We thus include a new configuration
key "prometheus_use_database_endpoint" which enables the new behaviour
such that existing installations' metrics won't break on a simple point
release. The intent is to eventually remove this configuration though
and enable it for all setups on a major release.
