Improve the documentation to clarify the differences beetween rules in a
group and outside a group.

commit 9875afc491 changed the type from
metric names to label values, we might as well adjust the description.
The alternative is to revert that commit and restrict names of alerting
rules again even if that was not really enforced.

One of our users today asked us if dashes were allowed in recording rule names.
We asserted that they were not, but also that we could not remember for certain.
After determining empirically that they are _not_ allowed, I realized that the
documentation could be slightly clearer about valid rule names.
This PR simply adds a note to the documentation re-iterating that the rules must
be valid metric names - and more importantly, adds a link to where a user can
read what those *are*, in case they were not aware (or did not know where to find it).
