This endpoint shows total services, connect service instances and
billable service instances in the local datacenter or globally. Billable
instances = total service instances - connect services - consul server instances.
Previously, we would emit service usage metrics both with and without a
namespace label attached. This is problematic in the case when you want
to aggregate metrics together, i.e. "sum(consul.state.services)". This
would cause services to be counted twice in that aggregate, once via the
metric emitted with a namespace label, and once in the metric emited
without any namespace label.
Using the newly provided state store methods, we periodically emit usage
metrics from the servers.
We decided to emit these metrics from all servers, not just the leader,
because that means we do not have to care about leader election flapping
causing metrics turbulence, and it seems reasonable for each server to
emit its own view of the state, even if they should always converge
rapidly.
