The new metric_name_escaping_scheme config option works in parallel with metric_name_validation_scheme and controls which escaping scheme is requested when scraping. When not specified, the scheme will request underscores if the validation scheme is set to legacy, and will request allow-utf-8 when the validation scheme is set to utf8. This setting allows users to allow utf8 names if they like, but explicitly request an escaping scheme rather than UTF-8.

This change causes Prometheus to allow all UTF-8 characters in metric and label names.
This means that names that were previously invalid and would have been previously rejected will be allowed through.
