[CT-3237] Display compiled metric code in docs

Describe the feature
Related to #467
As with dbt models, I would expect to be able to see the compiled code of a metric in the dbt docs. This used to be displayed with dbt-metrics if I remember correctly. At the moment the docs page for a metric is quite useless, it only displays the name, description, tags and metadata but nothing about how the metric gets calculated or what exactly is its definition.
Describe alternatives you've considered
At the moment, the only option to make docs more useful is to manually run a MetricFlow query with --explain flag for each metric and manually include the output into the description.
Additional context
No
Who will this benefit?
Anyone who needs to understand the definition of the metric.
