Add support for database size metrics

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

From an AO (Application Operations) perspective it is hard to keep track of the database sizes without either scheduling scripts or manually execute them to get to know the size of the databases. In some scenarios a sudden growth could be fatal for the performance of the application. At the same time, non-growth could be a result of a problem.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to be able to get all databases it's sizes (for all file types - Logs and Data) as metrics in MB (MegaBytes).

A solution could be running the following the query and structure the metrics to something like:

• sql.database_size_{DatabaseName}{LogicalName}{FileType}

SELECT 
    db.[name] AS [DatabaseName], 
    mf.[name] AS [LogicalName], 
    mf.[type_desc] AS [FileType], 
    mf.[physical_name] AS [Path], 
    CAST(
        (mf.[Size] * 8
        ) / 1024.0 AS DECIMAL(18, 1)) AS [SizeInMB], 
    'By '+IIF(
            mf.[is_percent_growth] = 1, CAST(mf.[growth] AS VARCHAR(10))+'%', CONVERT(VARCHAR(30), CAST(
        (mf.[growth] * 8
        ) / 1024.0 AS DECIMAL(18, 1)))+' MB') AS [Autogrowth], 
    IIF(mf.[max_size] = 0, 'No growth is allowed', IIF(mf.[max_size] = -1, 'Unlimited', CAST(
        (
                CAST(mf.[max_size] AS BIGINT) * 8
        ) / 1024 AS VARCHAR(30))+' MB')) AS [MaximumSize]
FROM 
     sys.[master_files] AS mf
     INNER JOIN sys.[databases] AS db ON
            db.[database_id] = mf.[database_id]

Describe alternatives you've considered

Another way of doing this would be to look into the sqlserverqueryreceiver, but monitoring file size and database size is pretty crucial from an AO and DBA (Database Admin).
