Description

One of the PRs related to #994 teaches Janus to detect in VdafOps::handle_aggregate_continue_generic whether an AggregationJobContinueReq received from a DAP leader is a replay of a previous request. To help assess the value of DAP's round skew recovery, we should measure how often this happens.

Research direction

Start at VdafOps::handle_aggregate_continue_generic and review how Janus currently detects replayed AggregationJobContinueReq messages from a DAP leader. Trace the existing metrics instrumentation, then define and expose a Prometheus metric that counts these replay events; done means the counter reports each detected replay.
