Improve metrics collection and reporting

Would this mean providing something more than just NoopMetricsHandler, or perhaps even more thorough changes?

I'm on the fence, it could be the case that "easy" use-cases don't care about metrics that much, and "advanced" use-cases may want to use own metrics handler anyway.

Perhaps the goal could be that the "core" is lean, but still able to collect metrics user-supplied code (or some actor-metrics future crate)? Somewhat related to #27 may or may not help with this.

Probably not necessarily Before Release thing, current metrics collection seems to be okayish.

One crate we were eyeing is metrics, which is a metrics facade similar to log. In general I would like to remove the generic bound on MetricsHandler since it complicates the code a bit.

Yeah, maybe having an optional metrics feature would be the right way to do this (and when enabled, reports metrics using that metrics crate).
