Add metric semantic conventions for timed operations #129

Conversation

This OTEP attempts to address open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#654.

I'd like us to come to agreement that we ought to have semantic conventions describing timing metrics. These semantic conventions will describe what instrument(s) are created, how they are named, and what labels are applied to them. They will not describe how or where the instruments are created and incremented.

As long as we avoid assuming a span exists when these metrics are getting generated (because one might not exist) I'm fine with this.

@open-telemetry/specs-metrics-approvers would y'all have a look at this? I'd like us to come to an agreement sooner rather than later that we want some semantic conventions about naming and labeling of metrics, and that we're not intending to specify API or SDK changes with them.

### Naming

The semantic conventions should specify the naming of this metric instrument, following
the [Metric Instrument Naming Guidelines](./108-naming-guidelines.md#guidelines).
