Description

Now that we have support for filter chain names, it'd be really useful to expose them in the metrics. Ideally, all the metrics emitted by filters inside a filter chain should have that filter chain's name added as a label.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how filter chain names are stored and retrieved in the codebase, then trace how metrics are emitted from filters. Find the appropriate location to add the filter chain name as a label to all filter metrics.
