* Redesign of metric labels - secondary queries (lazy|query) now just use parent + relativePath + type

# Query metric/plan label change — comparison

Improves the metric/plan name generated for **secondary** (`_lazy` / `_query`) loads so
they relate to their parent/root query, and unifies separators on `.`.

The secondary lazy name is now **always** `orm.<parent's full name>.<path>.<loadMode>`,
so it always prefixes the real parent metric.

## Root query name

| Root query source | Original | New |
|---|---|---|
| `setLabel("custMain")` | `orm.Customer_custMain` | `orm.Customer.custMain` |
| ProfileLocation `CustomerFinder.byName` | `orm.CustomerFinder.byName` | `orm.CustomerFinder.byName` *(same)* |
| ProfileLocation `DataLoader.loadAll` (Customer query) | `orm.Customer_DataLoader.loadAll` | `orm.Customer.DataLoader.loadAll` |
| Unlabeled, no location | `orm.Customer.findList` | `orm.Customer.findList` *(same)* |

## Secondary lazy (`contacts`) name

Original prefixes the **loaded** type (`Contact`) + the call-site location and uses `__`
between path and load mode. New prefixes the **parent's full name**.

| Root query source | Original lazy name | New lazy name |
|---|---|---|
| `setLabel("custMain")` *(profile location also present)* | `orm.Contact_CustomerFinder.findActive_contacts__lazy` — explicit label **lost** | `orm.Customer.custMain.contacts.lazy` |
| `setLabel("custMain")` *(no profile location)* | `orm.Contact_custMain_contacts__lazy` | `orm.Customer.custMain.contacts.lazy` |
| ProfileLocation `CustomerFinder.byName` | `orm.Contact_CustomerFinder.byName_contacts__lazy` | `orm.CustomerFinder.byName.contacts.lazy` |
| ProfileLocation `DataLoader.loadAll` | `orm.Contact_DataLoader.loadAll_contacts__lazy` | `orm.Customer.DataLoader.loadAll.contacts.lazy` |
| Unlabeled, no location | `orm.Contact.findList` *(own name; no parent path)* | `orm.Contact.findList` *(same)* |

## Problems fixed
- **(A) Secondary load didn't relate to its parent** — original prefixed the *loaded* type
  (`Contact`) + the *call-site* location, never the parent query's name. New name literally
  starts with the parent's full name.
- Explicit `setLabel` was **silently dropped** for secondary queries when a profile location
  existed.
- `__` path/loadMode separator and mixed `_`/`.` replaced by uniform `.`.

## Nested and `.query` secondary loads

Each secondary query name is `<immediate parent's full name>.<immediate path>.<loadMode>`,
so every hop literally prefixes its parent metric. Example with root `setLabel("custMain")`
on `Customer`, chain `Customer -> orders -> details`:

Nested lazy:
```
orm.Customer.custMain
orm.Customer.custMain.orders.lazy
orm.Customer.custMain.orders.lazy.details.lazy
```

Secondary eager `.query` fetch:
```
orm.Customer.custMain
orm.Customer.custMain.orders.query
orm.Customer.custMain.orders.query.details.query
```

The intermediate load mode (`.lazy.` / `.query.`) is retained so each name is an exact
extension of its immediate parent's name.
