Description
The node_exporter implements a command-line flag web.disable-exporter-metrics that disables publishing the exporter's process stats. Pulling that functionality into this package with some sort of flag helper similar to promlog would allow all Go exporters to benefit from this behaviour without having to re-implement it.

Research direction
Start by comparing node_exporter's web.disable-exporter-metrics behavior with the exporter-toolkit package and examining the existing promlog flag helper as the stated model. Determine the package entry point and tests that should own the shared flag behavior. Done means Go exporters can use the helper to disable exporter process metrics without reimplementing the functionality.
