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.

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.
