experiment with an InfoMetrics metric family (#12612)

Putting this in the neon codebase for now, to experiment. Can be lifted
into measured at a later date.

This metric family is like a MetricVec, but it only supports 1 label
being set at a time. It is useful for reporting info, rather than
reporting metrics.
