## What does this change do?
This pull request completes the change to the `metricsgen` metrics. It adds `go generate` directives to all of the files containing the `Metrics` structs.
Using the outputs of `metricsdiff` between these generated metrics and `master`, we can see that there is not a diff between the two sets of metrics when run locally.

This change also adds parsing for a `metrics:` key in a field comment. If a comment line begins with `//metrics:` the rest of the line is interpreted to be the metric help text. Additionally, a bug where lists of labels were not properly quoted in the `metricsgen` rendered output was fixed.
This pull requests adds a new tool, metricsgen, for generating Tendermint metrics constructors from `Metrics` struct definitions. This tool aims to reduce the amount of boilerplate required to add additional metrics to Tendermint.
Its working is fairly simple, it parses the go ast, extracts field information, and uses this field information to execute a go template.
This pull request also adds a proof-of-concept of the tool's output and working by using it to generate the [indexer metrics](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/pull/8479/files#diff-4b0c597b6fa05332a2f9a8e0ce079e360602942fae99dc5485f1edfe71c0a29e) using `//go:generate` directives and a simple `make` target.
The next steps for this tool are documented in https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/8485 and https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/8486, which detail using the tool to generate the `metrics.md` documentation file and using the tool to migrate away from `go-kit`.
