Description
To avoid duplicated proto, let's use https://buf.build/prometheus/prometheus/docs/main%3Aio.prometheus.client with buf that removed gogo nullables and remove client_model proto file.
Eventually in client_golang v2 we can move generated Go code to client_golang module.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the client_model proto file and the Buf definition at buf.build/prometheus/prometheus/docs/main:io.prometheus.client. Trace how generated Go code is consumed, including the planned move to the client_golang module. Done means the duplicated proto is removed, Buf is the source, and generated Go code remains available through the intended module.
