What does this PR do? What is the motivation?
Documents how short-lived Python, Java, and Node.js processes shut down OTel custom metrics after recording is complete.
The examples use the provider returned by the global OpenTelemetry API. Python uses the OpenTelemetry SDK method; Java and Node.js use Datadog provider extensions.
Merge readiness
The companion Java, Node.js, and system-tests PRs must land before this documentation is merged.
For Datadog employees:
AI assistance
Used Codex to align the examples with the SDK contracts and run documentation checks.
Additional notes
Vale reports no errors or findings on changed lines.
Companion PRs: system-tests #7606, Java #12317, and Node.js #10023.
