[RuntimeMetrics] Add additional metrics for JIT, ThreadPool, and GC diagnostics

[nsgocev]

Summary of changes

This PR extends the runtime metrics collection to include 13 new high-value metrics that were previously missing:

JIT Metrics (.NET 6+):

• runtime.dotnet.jit.compiled_il_bytes - Total IL bytes compiled by JIT
• runtime.dotnet.jit.compiled_methods - Total methods compiled by JIT
• runtime.dotnet.jit.compilation_time - Total JIT compilation time (milliseconds)

ThreadPool Metrics:

• runtime.dotnet.threads.queue_length - ThreadPool work item queue length (.NET Core 3.0+)
• runtime.dotnet.threads.available_worker_threads - Available ThreadPool worker threads
• runtime.dotnet.threads.available_completion_port_threads - Available ThreadPool I/O completion port threads
• runtime.dotnet.threads.completed_work_items - Completed ThreadPool work items (.NET 5+)
• runtime.dotnet.threads.active_timers - Active timer count (.NET 6+)

GC Metrics:

• runtime.dotnet.gc.allocated_bytes - Total allocated bytes (.NET Core 3.0+)
• runtime.dotnet.gc.fragmentation_percent - Heap fragmentation percentage
• runtime.dotnet.gc.total_available_memory - Container-aware total available memory
• runtime.dotnet.gc.high_memory_load_threshold - GC high memory pressure trigger threshold
• runtime.dotnet.gc.size.poh - Pinned Object Heap size (.NET 5+)

Reason for change

The existing runtime metrics implementation was missing several important metrics that are essential for:

1. JIT Diagnostics: Understanding startup performance and code generation costs - critical for containerized applications and serverless scenarios where cold starts matter
2. ThreadPool Saturation Detection: Identifying async bottlenecks and ThreadPool starvation - the most common cause of performance issues in .NET applications
3. Advanced GC Diagnostics: Container-aware memory tracking, heap fragmentation analysis, and POH size monitoring - essential for memory-constrained environments

Implementation details

Architecture

Extended both existing runtime metrics listeners to maintain compatibility across all supported platforms:

1. DiagnosticsMetricsRuntimeMetricsListener (.NET 6+)

   • Uses System.Diagnostics.Metrics APIs where available
   • Leverages System.Runtime.JitInfo APIs for JIT metrics

2. RuntimeEventListener (.NET Core 3.1+, also runs on .NET 6+)

   • Added metrics collection using EventSource-based approach

Performance Impact

• Collection overhead: < 1ms per 10s collection cycle (all metrics use fast BCL APIs)
• Memory overhead: Negligible (no allocations in hot paths, no new background threads)

Hi @nsgocev, thanks for the contribution, but adding additional built-in runtime metrics requires some work in the backend too, and we're not looking to add new built-in metrics right now, but it's on our radar. You're obviously free to send these as custom metrics in the meantime though
