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.

Also, change all the `dto.MetricFamily` arguments to pointers to be
more consistent with what we do in client_golang in general.

Document the example usage of ConstLabels to register several GaugeFuncs
on the same metric name. Also reference it from the NewCounterFunc
documentation as it's similar.

Essentially, just don't try to set a status code and send any error
message in the body once metrics gathering has succeeded. At that
point, the most likely reason for errors is anyway that the client has
disconnected, in which sending an error is moot. The other possible
reason for an error is a problem during metrics encoding. This is
unlikely to happen (it's a coding error here in client_golang in any
case), and if it is happening, the odds are we have already sent
something to the ResponseWriter, which means we cannot set a status
code anymore. The doc comment for HTTPErrorOnError now describes these
circumstances explicitly and recommends to set a logger to report that
kind of error.
This should fix the reason for the infamous `superfluous
response.WriteHeader call` message.

Introduces support for the new metadata endpoint from Prometheus. The new endpoint provides information independent of targets and collapses the unique combinations of HELP, TYPE and UNIT.

Also, update the package documentation. The concerns about the global
registry aren't really valid anymore because promauto now also works
with custom registries.
The musings about the http.DefaultMux are more a digression and
shouldn't be in a doc comment.

Interestingly, methods implicitly forwarded from embedded types are
detected by GoDoc if they are just one level deep. Embedded types in
the embedded type are not recognized. This commit therefore adds
explicit forwarding methods for Collect, Describe, and Reset.
