This function calculates exponential buckets with different arguments
than the existing ExponentialBuckets function. Instead of specifying the
start and factor, the user can specify the min and max bucket value. We
have been doing it this way internally at my company for some time.

This seem what OTel is converging towards, see
https://github.com/open-telemetry/oteps/pull/149 .
I see pros and cons with base-10 vs base-2. They are discussed in
detail in that OTel PR, and the gist of the discussion is pretty much
in line with my design doc. Since the balance is easy to tip here, I
think we should go with base-2 if OTel picks base-2. This also seems
to be in agreement with several proprietary solution (see again the
discussion on that OTel PR.)
The idea to make the number of buckets per power of 2 (or formerly 10)
a power of 2 itself was also sketched out in the design doc
already. It guarantees mergeability of different resolutions. I was
undecided between making it a recommendation or mandatory. Now I think
it should be mandatory as it has the additional benefit of playing
well with OTel's plans.
This commit also addresses a number of outstanding TODOs.

Since 1.16 is out, we still support the last four minor releases.
The bump was required by the prometheus/procfs package using the new
`%w` printf directives. However, it also allows us to remove some
special casing about build info.

Without this fix, the `InstrumentHandler...` middlewares get locked in
an endless loop in case of an invalid Collector, eating all the memory.

MetricVec was already exported in early versions of this library, but
nobody really used it to implement vectors of custom Metric
implementations. Now #796 has shown up with a fairly special use case
for which I'd prefer a custom implementation of a special
"auto-sampling histogram" outside of this library. Therefore, I'd like
to reinstate support for creating vectors of custom Metric
implementations.
I played around for quite some while with the option of a separate
package providing the tools one would need to create vectors of custom
Metric implementations. However, with the current structure of the
prometheus/client_golang/prometheus package, this leads to a lot of
complications with circular dependencies. (The new package would need
the primitives from the prometheus package, while the existing metric
vectors like GaugeVec need to import the new vector package to not
duplicate the implementation. Separating vector types from the main
prometheus package is out of the question at this point because that
would be a breaking change.)

I assume older Nanoc versions rendered the anchors with commas, but
the current doesn't.
Also, this adds the same link to another doc comment where it is also
relevant.

`github.com/golang/protobuf/proto` is deprecated in lieu of
`google.golang.org/protobuf/proto`. However, we cannot simply
migrate. Types from the proto package are exposed to users of packages
in this repo. If we migrate here, users have to migrate to. Thus, we
could only migrate with a major version bump.
In different news, with all the inline lint:ignore comments, including
the existing ones, there is no need to repeat the exception in the
Makefile.
A current version of `staticcheck` is happy with the code after this
commit. golangci-lint is broken at the moment, however, and ignores
the lint:ignore comments in the code as well as those via envvar.

Now that we have also added CollectAndLint and GatherAndLint, I
thought we should bring CollectAndCount in line. So:
- Add GatherAndCount.
- Add filtering by metric name.
- Add tests.
Minor wart: CollectAndCount should now return `(int, error)`, but that
would be a breaking change as the current version just returns
`int`. I decided to let the new version panic when it should return an
error. An error is anyway very unlikely, so the biggest annoyance here
is really just the inconsistency.

An empty job name was always an error, but it was previously only
detected when pushing to the PGW and receiving an error. With this
commit, the error is detected before pushing.
An empty label value should have been OK but was encoded in a way that
couldn't be pushed to the
PGW. Cf. https://github.com/prometheus/pushgateway/issues/344 . This
commit changes the creation of the path in the URL so that it works
with empty label values.
