Description
#5099 implemented a way to record real-time metrics. Cool! Now I'd like to activate it, as it's disabled by default. I'm not successful in enabling this, however.
Tried with a NettyServerBuilder for example, but the `setStatsRecordRealTimeMetrics` method is protected.
I don't see any other way to set the private attribute `recordRealTimeMetrics` in the `AbstractServerImplBuilder` class from the sources.
The work-around I'm using now is ugly in bypassing the protected attribute (Kotlin, but you get my point).
```kotlin
val serverBuilder = NettyServerBuilder.forPort(1234)
val setStatsRecordRealTimeMetricsMethod = NettyServerBuilder::class.java
.getDeclaredMethod("setStatsRecordRealTimeMetrics", Boolean::class.java)
setStatsRecordRealTimeMetricsMethod.setAccessible(true)
setStatsRecordRealTimeMetricsMethod.invoke(serverBuilder, true)
```
after which it starts to work, except from the method name not being exported (but that's #5593).
### What version of gRPC are you using?
1.20.0
### What did you expect to see?
A public function on the Builder to call `setStatsRecordRealTimeMetrics(true)`.
