* Add docs for Semantic Bridge MVP

- feature docs
  - semantic bridge
  - metric view validation

* update api sources for 3.25.1

* Update api index to refer to Semantic Bridge

* Update Semantic Bridge docs

- add content for Metric View object model overview
- add references for existing docs
- add first how-to
  - set up how-to includes for simple script to deserialize a
    hard-coded metric view: useful for samples

* Update toc and index for how-tos for Semantic Bridge

* Add Semantic Bridge how tos and final review

Add detailed how-tos to show off the C# scripting interface.

Review all code samples.
