Research direction

Start with the linked config-core.html, config-jmx.html, config-metrics.html, and config-reporter.html pages, then search the documentation for references to the listed options. Move the metrics-related options into config-metrics.html, update any affected references, and run the docs build to verify that links remain valid.

Description

agent-java

We have a bunch of config options related to metrics that end up in different categories:

Core configuration options

JMX configuration options

Metrics configuration options

Reporter configuration options

Can we merge all of these into the Metrics configuration options section?
We'll need to be careful and update references to these options, if there are any. The docs build should catch dead links.
