Description

Currently Metric Types doc sections for CloudWatch and Prometheus sinks
are using slightly different formatting. Statsd page doesn't have this section at all.

We need to align the formatting and add the Metric Types section to every metric sink.

Research direction

Start with the linked CloudWatch and Prometheus Metric Types sections and the StatsD sink page, then identify the other metric sinks in the documentation. Align the section formatting and add it wherever it is missing; done means every metric sink has a consistent Metric Types section.
