Proposal: Rename http.responseCodes metrics

Hello,

We currently have the Jenkins UI response code metrics named as follows: http_responseCodes_<responseType>_total

I would suggest the following convention to keep it consistent with the other metrics, and make it easier to discover:

• Prefix metric name with jenkins_
• Add response code in metric label instead of in metric name. The response codes have a limited cardinality thus should not be a problem

After the suggested rename, the metrics will look like:

jenkins_http_response_total

And then if you’d like to filter by code jenkins_http_response_total{code="404"}

@markyjackson-taulia why was this issue closed? Has this been fixed in a later release that I missed?

Please also keep best practices in mind and have a look how others expose such common HTTP metrics.
