docs: properly document prometheus protocols
name encoding schemes are only really documented in code. we should have a reference.
- [ ] new Protocol doc under Concepts
- [ ] update https://github.com/prometheus/docs/blob/main/content/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats.md
changed the name of the bug to indicate its wider scope
Maybe the "Specifications" section would be more appropriate than "Concepts"? The former is where the remote-write protocols are formally specified.
(In different news, I think we should reorganize the sections. Among others, I think it would make more sense to merge concepts and specifications, cf. https://github.com/prometheus/docs/issues/2547 .)
In other different news, this issue might better live in prometheus/docs.
