runtime/metrics: update documentation to current interface

The package documentation referenced sample metadata that was removed in CL 282632. Update this documentation to be less specific
about what metadata is available.

Additionally, the documentation on the Sample type referred to Descriptions instead of All as the source of metrics names.

Fixes #44280.

Metrics are designated by a string key, rather than, for example, a field name in
a struct. The full list of supported metrics is always available in the slice of
Descriptions returned by All. Each Description also includes useful information
about the metric, such as how to display it (for example, gauge vs. counter)
and how difficult or disruptive it is to obtain it (for example, do you need to
stop the world?).

Thus, users of this API are encouraged to sample supported metrics defined by the
slice returned by All to remain compatible across Go versions. Of course, situations
