In the custom graph editor, the metric name autocomplete now shows each suggestion's metric type in parentheses, for example metric_name (gauge) or, for a name that exists under more than one type, metric_name (sum, gauge).

This is a purely visual change: the metric type was always part of the data and is now simply shown in the suggestion list.
