[collectd] CPU (and other metrics) as percent

[Jeremy Katz]

Hi --

I was wondering if anyone is working on the support for sending cpu
information as a percent utilization rather than the raw points for each
type of cpu utilization.  I found the previous patch from
http://mailman.verplant.org/pipermail/collectd/2011-March/004415.html as
well as https://github.com/collectd/collectd/pull/189 which both seem
relevant but they both seem to have stalled out.

Being able to support this sort of thing in the cpu plugin and then
generalizing to be able to do similar for other plugins seems like it would
be valuable to get relevant metrics without having to do a lot of
calculations across your metric stream
