Update docs for changing existing metrics

Sebastian Rehm requested to merge 408633-update-metric-change-docs into master

What does this MR do and why?

Updates the docs around changing a metric in line with #408633 (closed) and especially the discussion around #408633 (comment 1366294147).

The aim is:

  • Strengthen the wording around metric changes to forbid rather than just discourage them for specific scenarios
  • outline the exact parts that should not be changed
