[collectd] Support for derive rrd-type (was: Support for DERIVED rrd-type)

[Ulf Kreutzberg]

Hello again,

the quick fix (very dirty, collectd-4.4.2) was to replace in rrdtool.c,
ds_get(), row 276
type = "COUNTER";
with
type = "DERIVE";

So all COUNTER types are written to DERIVE type ds.
Perhaps it will work for me.

Best regards,
Ulf
