Computes the list of metric names from all the scalar (run, tag) pairs.

    The return value is a list of (tag, group) pairs representing the metric
    names. The list is sorted in Python tuple-order (lexicographical).

    For example, if the scalar (run, tag) pairs are:
    ("exp/session1", "loss")
    ("exp/session2", "loss")
    ("exp/session2/eval", "loss")
    ("exp/session2/validation", "accuracy")
    ("exp/no-session", "loss_2"),
    and the runs corresponding to sessions are "exp/session1", "exp/session2",
    this method will return [("loss", ""), ("loss", "/eval"), ("accuracy",
    "/validation")]

    More precisely, each scalar (run, tag) pair is converted to a (tag, group)
    metric name, where group is the suffix of run formed by removing the
    longest prefix which is a session run. If no session run is a prefix of
    'run', the pair is skipped.

    Returns:
      A python list containing pairs. Each pair is a (tag, group) pair
      representing a metric name used in some session.
