Description

Hello,
Current [implementation](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Alinkedin%2FBurrow%20burrow_kafka_consumer_&type=code) does not allow to change the `burrow_kafka_consumer_` prefix for Prometheus metrics. It would be convenient to configure these metrics names accordingly to the need. What do you think about it ?
This is especially problematic if you have multiple independent burrows with different configurations and one Prometheus storage.

Thank you in advance

Research direction

Start with the linked code search for the burrow_kafka_consumer_ prefix and trace how Prometheus metric names are assembled and configuration is loaded. Done means an independent Burrow can configure a different metric prefix and the emitted names use it consistently.
