Add Child notion to client about client_ruby HOT 3 CLOSED

@brian-brazil this is now covered as part of the changes we made in PR #95. We require labels at creation time, they're no longer the first parameter, and the Child notion is implemented through the with_labels methods.

I'm going to close this issue due to this but feel free to reopen if you think there's still work to do on this.

Label-less use does not get harder by having an optional labels parameter. See the first example from the readme. This is a common ruby pattern.

http_requests = prometheus.counter(:http_requests, 'A counter of HTTP requests made')

# start using the counter
http_requests.increment

Using a labels() method and calling metric functions on that will help performance-wise though. I added this to milestone v0.7.0.

The labels parameter is first, so if you want a non-default value it makes it harder.
