feat(besu): add prometheus exporter

	Primary Change
	--------------

	1. The besu ledger connector plugin now includes the prometheus metrics exporter integration
	2. OpenAPI spec now has api endpoint for the getting the prometheus metrics

	Refactorings that were also necessary to accomodate 1) and 2)
	------------------------------------------------------------

	3. GetPrometheusMetricsV1 class is created to handle the corresponding api endpoint
	4. IPluginLedgerConnectorBesuOptions interface in PluginLedgerConnectorBesu class now has a prometheusExporter optional field
	5. The PluginLedgerConnectorBesu class has relevant functions and codes to incorporate prometheus exporter
	6. deploy-contract-from-json.test.ts is changed to incorporate the prometheus exporter
	7. Added Readme.md on the prometheus exporter usage

	Fixes hyperledger-cacti#533

 # `@hyperledger/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector`
 
-> TODO: description
+## Prometheus Exporter
 
-## Usage
+This class creates a prometheus exporter, which scraps the transactions (total transaction count) for the use cases incorporating the use of Besu connector plugin.
 
+### Usage
+The prometheus exporter object is initialized in the `PluginLedgerConnectorBesu` class constructor itself, so instantiating the object of the `PluginLedgerConnectorBesu` class, gives access to the exporter object.
+You can also initialize the prometheus exporter object seperately and then pass it to the `IPluginLedgerConnectorBesuOptions` interface for `PluginLedgerConnectoBesu` constructor.
+
+`getPrometheusExporterMetricsEndpointV1` function returns the prometheus exporter metrics, currently displaying the total transaction count, which currently increments everytime the `transact()` method of the `PluginLedgerConnectorBesu` class is called.
+
+### Prometheus Integration
+To use Prometheus with this exporter make sure to install [Prometheus main component](https://prometheus.io/download/).
+Once Prometheus is setup, the corresponding scrape_config needs to be added to the prometheus.yml
+
+```(yaml)
+- job_name: 'besu_ledger_connector_exporter'
+  metrics_path: api/v1/plugins/@hyperledger/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-besu/get-prometheus-exporter-metrics
+  scrape_interval: 5s
+  static_configs:
+    - targets: ['{host}:{port}']
 ```
-// TODO: DEMONSTRATE API
-```
+
+Here the `host:port` is where the prometheus exporter metrics are exposed. The test cases (For example, packages/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-besu/src/test/typescript/integration/besu-v1-4-x/run-transaction-endpoint-v1.test.ts) exposes it over `0.0.0.0` and a random port(). The random port can be found in the running logs of the test case and looks like (42379 in the below mentioned URL)
+`Metrics URL: http://0.0.0.0:42379/api/v1/plugins/@hyperledger/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-besu/get-prometheus-exporter-metrics`
+
+Once edited, you can start the prometheus service by referencing the above edited prometheus.yml file.
+On the prometheus graphical interface (defaulted to http://localhost:9090), choose **Graph** from the menu bar, then select the **Console** tab. From the **Insert metric at cursor** drop down, select **cactus_besu_total_tx_count** and click **execute**
+
+### Helper code
+
+###### response.type.ts
+This file contains the various responses of the metrics.
+
+###### data-fetcher.ts
+This file contains functions encasing the logic to process the data points
+
+###### metrics.ts
+This file lists all the prometheus metrics and what they are used for.
