runtime/metrics: add additional allocation metrics

This change adds four additional metrics to the runtime/metrics package
to fill in a few gaps with runtime.MemStats that were overlooked. The
biggest one is TotalAlloc, which is impossible to find with the
runtime/metrics package, but also add a few others for convenience and
clarity. For instance, the total number of objects allocated and freed
are technically available via allocs-by-size and frees-by-size, but it's
onerous to get them (one needs to sum the sample counts in the
histograms).

The four additional metrics are:
- /gc/heap/allocs:bytes   -- total bytes allocated (TotalAlloc)
- /gc/heap/allocs:objects -- total objects allocated (Mallocs - [tiny])
- /gc/heap/frees:bytes    -- total bytes frees (TotalAlloc-HeapAlloc)
- /gc/heap/frees:objects  -- total objects freed (Frees - [tiny])

This change also updates the descriptions of allocs-by-size and
frees-by-size to be more precise.
