  • refactor(http/prom): status code labelers are Clone
    these types do not contain any internal state, and could thus be
    clonable. this commit makes MkLabelGrpcStatus and
    MkLabelHttpStatus clonable.

  • refactor(http/prom): constructable RequestCancelled
    this commit removes the uninhabited () state in RequestCancelled.

    this will allow our forthcoming status middleware to construct this
    type when a request is cancelled.

  • feat(http/prom): add status counting middleware
    this commit introduces a new submodule to linkerd-http-prom.

    this submodule includes a NewRecordStatusCode<N> middleware that can
    be used with the status code labeling implementations in stream_label
    to record Prometheus metrics counting response status codes for HTTP and
    gRPC traffic.

    a test suite demonstrates that this works properly for HTTP and gRPC
    traffic, including edge cases like errors or cancelled bodies.

see #4306, which explores altering StreamLabel::end_response() such that it accepts the end-of-stream object directly.

this ended up not being required in more recent iterations of #4300, but seemed like a reasonable and harmless addition.

i'm happy to (a) keep this, (b) back out of this change altogether, or (c) put it in a different pull request. what do you think?

refactor(app/outbound): remove status counters from `NewRecordRespons…
3eab1e8 
…e` (#4300)

**nb:** this branch is based upon
#4299,
and #4298.

in #4299 we made some prepatory
adjustments to the outbound proxy's route-backend metrics layer, and in
#4298 we introduced a new
`linker-http-prom::status` metrics layer that can be used to count response
status codes, in a manner that is agnostic with respect to the particular
protocol that instrumented traffic is using.

this branch performs a sequences of changes oriented towards two concrete
goals: **1:** integrate the `NewRecordStatusCode` middleware into the
outbound proxy's route and backend metrics layers, and **2:** remove status
code measurement from the `NewRecordResponse` middleware.

it's worth stating explicitly that this maintains the existing behavior of the
outbound proxy, and that (1) and (2) must be performed at the same time to
maintain parity.

<img width="498" height="262" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5030e7cd-33df-4cc3-b5cc-5f4db8247bd5" />

to demonstrate that parity is maintained, let's compare metrics from this
branch against a snapshot of metrics exported in `main`.

**🟰 comparing the metrics**

metrics were scraped from the proxy, using a small traffic generation
deployment that runs `curl` against a container running `http-echo`.

```

because there are a large number of metrics and labels, a character-level diff
of the two looked like so. as we'd hope, the only differences observed were
values of particular time series. in other words, the same traffic yielded the
same number of time series with the same labels.

feat(app/inbound): http and grpc status code metrics
0d51e4e 
in #4298, we introduced a new metrics telemetry
layer that can measure and report status codes, in a protocol-agnostic
fashion. this commit integrates this status code telemtry into the
inbound proxy, so that HTTP and gRPC traffic can be observed.

a new family of metrics is introduced to the `InboundMetrics` structure,
and the inbound http\* router's metrics layer is accordingly updated to
thread this metrics family into an extractor, which is in turn provided
to the `NewRecordStatusCode` layer.

\* as a note for reviews, the inbound proxy does not model the http and
grpc protocols are distinct concepts in the network stack's type system,
unlike the outbound proxy. this means that while target types in the
outbound proxy like `Http<()>` are specific to HTTP, the inbound proxy's
distinction of HTTP/gRPC is determined by obtaining and inspecting the
`PermitVariant`.
