### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This adds two new additional metrics to `ExternalBlockHandler`:
- `blockTransferRate` -- for indicating the rate of transferring blocks, vs. the data within them
- `blockTransferAvgSize_1min` -- a 1-minute trailing average of block sizes transferred by the ESS
Additionally, this enhances `YarnShuffleServiceMetrics` to expose the histogram/`Snapshot` information from `Timer` metrics within `ExternalBlockHandler`.
### Why are the changes needed?
Currently `ExternalBlockHandler` exposes some useful metrics, but is lacking around metrics for the rate of block transfers. We have `blockTransferRateBytes` to tell us the rate of _bytes_, but no metric to tell us the rate of _blocks_, which is especially relevant when running the ESS on HDDs that are sensitive to random reads. Many small block transfers can have a negative impact on performance, but won't show up as a spike in `blockTransferRateBytes` since the sizes are small. Thus the new metrics to show information around average block size and block transfer rate are very useful to monitor the health/performance of the ESS, especially when running on HDDs.
For the `YarnShuffleServiceMetrics`, currently the three `Timer` metrics exposed by `ExternalBlockHandler` are being underutilized in a YARN-based environment -- they are basically treated as a `Meter`, only exposing rate-based information, when the metrics themselves are collected detailed histograms of timing information. We should expose this information for better observability.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Yes, there are two entirely new metrics for the ESS, as documented in `monitoring.md`. Additionally in a YARN environment, `Timer` metrics exposed by the ESS will include more rich timing information.
### How was this patch tested?
New unit tests are added to verify that new metrics are showing up as expected.
We have been running this patch internally for approx. 1 year and have found it to be useful for monitoring the health of ESS and diagnosing performance issues.
Closes#32388 from xkrogen/xkrogen-SPARK-35258-ess-new-metrics.
