Which issue does this PR close?

Rationale for this change

Now we have to search in the code comment (or even implementation) to find the documentation of certain metrics, it would be better to open a page in the user-guide for metrics.

The doc has to be manually updated, the metrics construction is scattered in the codebase, so it's hard to make it auto-generated.

This PR only includes 2 common metrics, I plan to add more operator-specific metrics while working on #18116

What changes are included in this PR?

Are these changes tested?

Are there any user-facing changes?

Also edited in a link to an issue I remember seeing about metrics documentation in the PR body

Is there a specific unit for this metric?

Unit will be displayed like ...elapsed_compute=4.043955ms..., so I think we don't have to doc here

Also I guess having a metrics doc page should allow us to close #1578 as well; since we can easily search for this metrics page in documentation which then redirects us to explain analyze page in the introduction


## Operator-specific Metrics

We may split it into small good first issues.

I agree. I'll do an example PR and open issues.
