Collect metrics on scrape instead of timer

The prometheus docs on exporters say:

Metrics should only be pulled from the application when Prometheus scrapes them, exporters should not perform scrapes based on their own timers. That is, all scrapes should be synchronous.

The very first example provided by this repository goes against those docs by just spamming the same function on a timer.

Can anyone provide a basic example that shows how to start a metrics collection only when prometheus connects to the exporter, as it's actually supposed to be done? Because christ, it's faster to just set up a flask server with a custom /metrics endpoint than actually figure out how to do so using this framework.

Start with the Prometheus exporter scheduling documentation and the repository's first example, which the issue identifies as timer-based. Add a basic example showing collection starts synchronously when Prometheus scrapes the exporter; done means the example no longer performs collection on its own timer.
