Context

As stated in the PR title, this change updates the docs for metrics-exporter-prometheus to highlight that in certain scenarios, the caller becomes responsible for ensuring the upkeep is run, which helps prevent unbounded memory growth in scenarios where the scrape endpoint is hit infrequently.

Closes #467.
