docs: add comprehensive rustdoc documentation for OpenTelemetry exporter

Add detailed documentation following patterns from other metrics exporters:
- Module-level overview with features, usage examples, and performance notes
- Comprehensive API documentation for OpenTelemetryRecorder
- Detailed method docs with examples and behavioral constraints
- Internal type documentation for MetricDescription and MetricMetadata
- Missing docs enforcement and broken link detection

+
+A [`metrics`]-compatible exporter for sending metrics to OpenTelemetry collectors.
+
+[`metrics`]: https://docs.rs/metrics/
+
+## Overview
+
+A [`metrics`]-compatible exporter for OpenTelemetry collectors and OTLP endpoints.
 
 ## Features
 
-- Export metrics to OpenTelemetry collectors using OTLP
-- Support for counters, gauges, and histograms
-- Integration with the OpenTelemetry SDK
-- Configurable export intervals and endpoints
+- Counters, gauges, and histograms
+- Custom histogram bucket boundaries
+- Metric descriptions and units
+- Lock-free concurrent data structures
+- Works with any OpenTelemetry [`Meter`]
+
+[`Meter`]: https://docs.rs/opentelemetry/latest/opentelemetry/metrics/trait.Meter.html
+
+## Quick Start
 
-## Usage
+Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+metrics = "0.24"
+metrics-exporter-opentelemetry = "0.1"
+opentelemetry = "0.30"
+opentelemetry_sdk = "0.30"
+```
+
+Basic usage:
 
 ```rust
-use metrics::{counter, gauge, histogram};
-use metrics_exporter_opentelemetry::OpenTelemetryBuilder;
-use opentelemetry_otlp::WithExportConfig;
-use opentelemetry_sdk::{
-    metrics::{PeriodicReader, SdkMeterProvider},
-    runtime,
-};
-
-// Configure OpenTelemetry exporter
-let exporter = opentelemetry_otlp::MetricExporter::builder()
-    .with_tonic()
-    .with_endpoint("http://localhost:4317")
-    .build()?;
-
-// Create a periodic reader
-let reader = PeriodicReader::builder(exporter, runtime::Tokio)
-    .with_interval(Duration::from_secs(10))
-    .build();
-
-// Build the meter provider
-let provider = SdkMeterProvider::builder()
-    .with_reader(reader)
-    .build();
-
-// Install the metrics exporter
-OpenTelemetryBuilder::new()
-    .with_meter_provider(provider)
-    .install()?;
-
-// Now you can use the metrics macros
-counter!("requests_total").increment(1);
-gauge!("cpu_usage").set(0.75);
-histogram!("request_duration").record(0.234);
+use metrics_exporter_opentelemetry::OpenTelemetryRecorder;
+use opentelemetry::metrics::MeterProvider;
+use opentelemetry_sdk::metrics::SdkMeterProvider;
+
+// Create an OpenTelemetry meter
+let provider = SdkMeterProvider::default();
+let meter = provider.meter("my_application");
+
+// Create and install the recorder
+let recorder = OpenTelemetryRecorder::new(meter);
+metrics::set_global_recorder(recorder).expect("failed to install recorder");
+
+// Use metrics as normal
+metrics::counter!("requests_total", "method" => "GET").increment(1);
+metrics::gauge!("cpu_usage", "core" => "0").set(45.2);
+metrics::histogram!("response_time", "endpoint" => "/api/users").record(0.123);
 ```
 
-## Examples
+## Custom Histogram Boundaries
+
+```rust
+let recorder = OpenTelemetryRecorder::new(meter);
 
-- [`opentelemetry_push`](examples/opentelemetry_push.rs): Demonstrates exporting metrics to an OpenTelemetry collector
-- [`opentelemetry_stdout`](examples/opentelemetry_stdout.rs): Shows metrics export to stdout for debugging
+recorder.set_histogram_bounds(
+    &metrics::KeyName::from("response_time"),
+    vec![0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0]
+);
+
+metrics::set_global_recorder(recorder).expect("failed to install recorder");
+```
+
+## Metric Descriptions and Units
+
+You can provide descriptions and units for your metrics using the `describe_*` macros. 
+
+CAUTION: These macros must be called before the metrics are recorded. The instruments created before calling these macros will not have descriptions or units.
+
+```rust
+use metrics::{describe_counter, describe_histogram, Unit};
+
+describe_counter!("requests_total", Unit::Count, "Total HTTP requests");
+describe_histogram!("response_time", Unit::Seconds, "Response time distribution");
+
+metrics::counter!("requests_total").increment(1);
+metrics::histogram!("response_time").record(0.045);
+```
