Please describe the feature request
The Micrometer API allows for defining a description and baseUnit upon Meter creation.
The Dynatrace metrics ingestion API used by the Dynatrace Micrometer registry allows for specifying units and descriptions for ingested metrics: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/metric-ingestion-protocol#metadata

It would be great if the Dynatrace registry would make full use of both APIs and also export the unit and description for each metric if they are specified by the user.

Rationale
The Meter description can describe a metric in more detail than just the metric name itself.
The Meter unit can help when interpreting metrics and is useful to tell whether different metrics are comparable with one another.

[Dynatrace v2] Export unit/description to Dynatrace (#4006)
44c334a 
Export Meter's unit and description as Dynatrace metadata by default. This new behavior can be toggled by a new configuration method `exportMeterMetadata` on DynatraceConfig.

Resolves gh-3979

Only serialize metadata when set on the meter
9df4469 
gh-4006 added support for metrics metadata (unit and description) in the
Dynatrace Exporter. The exporter always added the metadata even if unit
or description were not set. After these changes,
the exporter should not attempt to add metadata if no unit
or description was set on the metric.
