Capture Metrics and Telemetry Associated with Use of Routes and Shards

Goal: Provide queryable metrics and telemetry for cluster routes and sharding in an OpenShift cluster.

Problem: Today we test OpenShift performance and scale with best-guess or anecdotal evidence for the number of routes that our customers use. Best practices for a large number of routes in a cluster is to shard, however we have no visibility with regard to if and how customers are using sharding.

Why is this important? These metrics will inform our performance and scale testing, documented cluster limits, and how customers are using sharding for best practice deployments.
