Define the concept of a threshold metric

What's missing?

It would be great if we defined a pattern to be followed for defining a threshold metric to complement a status metric when the state is based upon the current measured value rather a transition.

Describe the solution you'd like

We have defined guidance of defining a threshold gauge metric for capturing the thresholds.

This metric is to contain the following attributes:

• *.state
• otel.metric.limit_type with values of max/min
• otel.metric.bound_type with values of upper/lower
• The other attributes on the status metric

Additional context

The hw namespace has attempted to do this as part of a limit metric but this splits it out as they represent different concepts and would have different attributes.
