Description

Currently the CacheMetricsRegistrarConfiguration binds the meters for the cache related metrics in a @PostContstruct for all known cache names.

Looking at the spring-boot-sample-cache project and the various caches implementations, most of them don't provide the cache names at this moment and therefore no metrics are provided for these.

Research direction

Start with CacheMetricsRegistrarConfiguration and inspect the spring-boot-sample-cache project and its cache implementations to understand how cache names are currently discovered. Done means caches created on the fly also receive the cache-related metrics described in the issue; no specific test is named.
