Description:
This PR adds support for Prometheus metrics by adding the prometheus-cpp library, and enabling the Prometheus Luanti build flag. Build steps were adapted from the steps outlined on the official wiki.
Benefits of this PR and context:
Some users may want the ability to gather server metrics beyond CPU/memory. For instance, creating Grafana dashboards with Luanti-specific data.
How Has This Been Tested?
This has been tested by building the images and running them with a backup of an existing world and database.
