UI: More inclusive metadata handling for _count/_sum/_bucket suffixes (#16910)

Although these suffixes always need to be removed before querying metadata for
metrics that follow the Prometheus naming best practices, there can also be
metrics that don't follow these naming practices and have these suffixes
without being part of either a histogram or a summary metric.

Fixes https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/16907
