Remove --help output from README

I have no idea if it is even up to date. The README file was too large to fit
Docker Hub's limitations; this removal brings us just under the [25KB
limit](https://github.com/docker/hub-feedback/issues/238).

and generated Prometheus metrics.
--web.enable-lifecycle Enable shutdown and reload via HTTP request.
--web.telemetry-path="/metrics"
Path under which to expose metrics.
--statsd.listen-udp=":9125"
The UDP address on which to receive statsd
metric lines. "" disables it.
--statsd.listen-tcp=":9125"
The TCP address on which to receive statsd
metric lines. "" disables it.

### Event flushing configuration
### Event flushing configuration
Internally `statsd_exporter` runs a goroutine for each network listener (UDP, TCP & Unix Socket). These each receive and parse metrics received into an event. For performance purposes, these events are queued internally and flushed to the main exporter goroutine periodically in batches. The size of this queue and the flush criteria can be tuned with the `--statsd.event-queue-size`, `--statsd.event-flush-threshold` and `--statsd.event-flush-interval`. However, the defaults should perform well even for very high traffic environments.
