Reorder and rework glob vs. regex documentation
Note that regular expression matches are only evaluated after glob
matches. Add headings and introductory sentences to each glob type.

Remove the technical reasoning for choosing glob vs. regex; instead
explain the performance implications and gotchas of each type in turn.

Closes #349.

Support checking configuration and exiting
If desired, go through all the motions of setting up the exporter, but
then exit. This is not very elegant, as we actually open the ports,
which may not be what you want to do in a pipeline, but it is the
quickest way to implement this.

Fixes #263.

dae5d782a6 allow setting granularity for summary metrics
The Go client for prometheus aggregates summary metrics over 10
minutes by default, in 5 buckets.  This is not always the behaviour we
want.

Allow tweaking those settings in `statsd_exporter`, so we can
aggregate summary metrics over more or less time, with more or fewer
buckets, and set the cap for the bucket as well.

80b77513a6 create sub-hierarchies for summary and histogram options
Currently the Buckets and Quantiles settings are top level settings per metric
in the yaml.  In a subsequent commit we're going to allow adding more such
options for summaries, at which point having them all at the top level gets
confusing.

Split the options out into separate hierarchies to allow adding more options,
without adding confusion.  We preserve backwards compatibility by still
accepting the old option, but warning when it is present.

b0a54e1d65 Add note about DogStatsD use_ms option
DogStatsD by default emits timer metric in seconds, while the exporter
assumes milliseconds; which is the default for statsd. The `use_ms` option
fixes this, and will be useful for dogstatsd users to know.

Reload on SIGHUP instead of watching the file
This is more portable (works on any system that has UNIX signals) and
removes the dependency on fsnotify, which doesn't compile on AIX. It
also reduces the probability of failed reloads due to partial writes.

Add internal event queuing and flushing
At high traffic levels, the locking around sending on channels can cause
a large amount of blocking and CPU usage.  These adds an event queue
mechanism so that events are queued for short period of time, and
flushed in batches to the main exporter goroutine periodically.

The default is is to flush every 1000 events, or every 200ms, whichever
happens first.
