Create metric API Callback type

 - Return a `Registration` from the `RegisterCallback` method of a `Meter` in the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric` package.
   This `Registration` can be used to unregister callbacks. (#3522)
 - Add `Producer` interface and `Reader.RegisterProducer(Producer)` to `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric` to enable external metric Producers. (#3524)
+- Add the `Callback` function type to the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric` package.
+  This new named function type is registered with a `Meter`. (#3564)
 
 ### Changed

   - `InstrumentKindAsyncCounter` is renamed to `InstrumentKindObservableCounter`
   - `InstrumentKindAsyncUpDownCounter` is renamed to `InstrumentKindObservableUpDownCounter`
   - `InstrumentKindAsyncGauge` is renamed to `InstrumentKindObservableGauge`
+- Update the `RegisterCallback` method of the `Meter` in the `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric` package to accept the added `Callback` type instead of an inline function type definition.
+  The underlying type of a `Callback` is the same `func(context.Context)` that the method used to accept. (#3564)
