Embed metrics into structs and optional initialization

[jtlisi]

The single binary version of cortex ends up reporting metrics for each component in cortex regardless of whether the module is enabled or not. At this point it would make sense to start embedding metrics into structs so that the initialization of those metrics is actually dependent on whether that module is deployed or not.

This can be done piecemeal one module or package at a time.

I support this idea; came here to add that we have some other metrics that come in via promauto from vendor'd code that never gets called. Example prometheus_remote_storage_highest_timestamp_in_seconds

I think the solution we've already started adopting is to pass prometheus.Registerer to services and register metrics on that, avoiding promauto.
