Epic: Build metrics in Cube data model

[rpaik]

Cube allows to define the foundation of the data model through cube objects and joins between them, but it currently lacks a framework to define metrics as a second layer on top of the data model. While it is possible now to expose cubes through the SQL API, it is not yet sufficient to support the internal BI (metrics) use cases.

This epic will introduce a way to build metrics in the Cube data model, and allow data consumers to discuss/document/social metrics with a metric object.
