Description
Implement the proposal described here for JMX metrics, this replaces https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation/issues/19245 and the in-progress https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation/pull/19344 PR
The goal is to provide an include/exclude implementation aligned with https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation/issues/19444
The high level plan is the following:
- add the ability to filter jmx metrics by name
- #19781
- #19782
- enable stable jmx metrics by default (if any) + add per-system opt-in for unstable metrics
- #19783
- provide feature parity and transition in jmx-scraper
