[prometheus] Stabilize Prometheus -> OTLP: Histograms
What are you trying to achieve?
Stabilize https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/compatibility/prometheus_and_openmetrics/#histograms
It would be helpful to re-phrase this section to not rely as heavily on text format suffixes. E.g.

Should become something like:
The histogram count must be used to determine the histogram's count. For the Prometheus text format, the count is a separate series of the form <metric family name>_count.
