This is to shrink the PR #100.
The only place where the registry.Variable type was used was metrics,
so just inline that type into its only user. The use of the
registry.Variable type in core.Key was limited to the Name field.
The stats package also used the registry.Variable type, but seems that
also only the Name field was used and the package is going to be
dropped anyway.
