Improve Prometheus exporter output (#795)

* Prometheus metrics updates:

 * Add username label to deconflict metrics that would otherwise
   have duplicate labels across different pools.
 * Group metrics by name and only print HELP and TYPE once per
   metric name.
 * Sort labels for a deterministic output.
