    [Structured metrics] Add /tools/metrics directory and XML file. · 7fd71f16
    tby authored
    This creates a directory for the structured metrics XML file. The next
    CLs will add codegen and presubmits similar to UKM's here too. Some
    notes:
    
    Naming:
      In an attempt to use short names, I've called this 'smc' in code,
      for 'structured metrics collection'. I'm not wedded to this though,
      let me know if simply 'structured_metrics' is better.
    
    Ownership:
      For ease of development I've added myself as OWNER, but I don't
      think this is needed in perpetuity. It might be wise to hand off
      ownership at some point, let's talk more about that later on.
    
      My intention was for the whole Metrics team to inherit ownership of
      this directory. I'm not sure how the owners system works though, so
      let me know if that's not the case.
    
    Types:
      There was some discussion of allowing three kinds of metrics:
      unhashed, globally hashed, and per-user hashed. That will require
      some changes to the XML file format, but I don't think that's
      finalized yet, so let's tackle it in a follow-up CL.
