runtime,runtime/metrics: add memory metrics

This change adds support for a variety of runtime memory metrics and
contains the base implementation of Read for the runtime/metrics
package, which lives in the runtime.

It also adds testing infrastructure for the metrics package, and a bunch
of format and documentation tests.

For #37112.
