Description
Once OM has decided how the text format representation of Native Histograms should look like (likely in OM 2.0, cf. https://github.com/OpenObservability/OpenMetrics/issues/237 for tracking), we need to implement it here in prometheus/prometheus.
This is needed to declare Native Histograms a stable feature.
See also #11172, which will inform how to design the text format.
