Description
OpenMetrics 2.0 recently released an experimental release candidate: https://prometheus.io/docs/specs/om/open_metrics_spec_2_0/.
We should add support for it in the expfmt encoder so that it is supported in prometheus/client_golang.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked OpenMetrics 2.0 specification and inspecting the expfmt encoder in prometheus/common. Trace how prometheus/client_golang uses that encoder and identify the existing format-support tests or entry points. Done means the encoder supports the specified OpenMetrics 2.0 behavior and remains usable by prometheus/client_golang.
