[collectd] Write_graphite difference updating from 5.2.0 to 5.3.0

[Nico]

Hi everyone.

Maybe this was addressed somewhere but I couldn't find it.

After installing a new host with collectd 5.3.0 I've found a difference in
the naming
tree which is sent to graphite.

In 5.2.0 many variables use to end in ".value'
In 5.3.0 this is no longer present. This is good !!
but i cant find an option in the configuration
to remove this from 5.2.0 or to add it in 5.3.0

This is very difficult to handle because there are a lot of
inconsistencies between the two naming schemes.

For example:
all cpu variables:
collectd-5.2.0_host/cpu-0/cpu-idle/value.wsp
collectd-5.2.0_host/cpu-0/cpu-interrupt/value.wsp
collectd-5.3.0_host/cpu-0/cpu-idle.wsp
collectd-5.3.0_host/cpu-0/cpu-interrupt.wsp

memory:
collectd-5.2.0_host/memory/memory-used/value.wsp
collectd-5.2.0_host/memory/memory-free/value.wsp
collectd-5.3.0_host/memory/memory-used.wsp
collectd-5.3.0_host/memory/memory-free.wsp

the same happens with vmem and protocols
BUT not with interfaces or load:
collectd-5.2.0_host/interface-eth0/if_errors/tx.wsp
collectd-5.2.0_host/interface-eth0/if_errors/rx.wsp
collectd-5.3.0_host/interface-eth0/if_errors/tx.wsp
collectd-5.3.0_host/interface-eth0/if_errors/rx.wsp

Collectd.conf is the same in both hosts:

<Plugin write_graphite>
  <Carbon>
    Host "192.168.1.162"
    Port "2003"
    Prefix "collectd."
    Postfix "."
    StoreRates true
    AlwaysAppendDS false
    EscapeCharacter "_"
  </Carbon>
</Plugin>

Thanks!
