Issue number: closes #6198
Summary
This PR implements support for multiple dimension sets in the Metrics utility, enabling users to create aggregated CloudWatch metrics across different dimension combinations. This aligns with the CloudWatch Embedded Metric Format (EMF) specification and brings Python implementation to feature parity with other Powertools runtimes (Java, TypeScript).

Before:
Users could only create metrics with a single dimension set, limiting their ability to aggregate metrics across different dimension combinations. To achieve hierarchical aggregation, users had to:
