Description

Add/improve PTransform identifier(name) documentation in Java SDK.

Specifically address this in Javadoc of `Pipeline#apply`, `PBegin#apply`, `PCollection#apply`, `Metrics`, `MetricsResult`, `MetricsFilter`.

Documentation around Metrics `step` (Which corresponds to the PTransform application identifier) in the classes mentioned above is a bit confusing currently, this should be reworded in correlation with the changes `Pipeline#apply`, `PBegin#apply`, `PCollection#apply`.

See parent issue BEAM-2035 for more information.

Imported from Jira [BEAM-2037](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2037). Original Jira may contain additional context.

Research direction

Start with the Javadocs for Pipeline#apply, PBegin#apply, PCollection#apply, Metrics, MetricsResult, and MetricsFilter. Use the parent issue BEAM-2035 for context, then align the explanations of PTransform application identifiers and Metrics step. Done means the listed Java SDK documentation is consistent and no longer confusing.
