Add measurement docs to metric API (#4053)
* Add measurement docs to metric API

Based on user feedback, how measurements are made with observable
instruments is not immediately clear to new users. This adds
documentation intended to help guide these users.

* Apply feedback

* Apply feedback

* Remove backticks

* Apply suggestions from code review

Co-authored-by: Robert Pająk <pellared@hotmail.com>

* Update metric/meter.go
