Fix error TS2497 on import * as X from 'statsd-client':

[garthk]

Per microsoft/TypeScript#5073, closed as By Design by @mhegazy, we need to merge a namespace with the export when using export =, otherwise import * must fail.

Pinging @peterkooijmans and @horiuchi for review.

Double-checked with the project in which I tripped over the problem:

$ typings install --global dt~statsd-client
$ tsc -p tsconfig.build.json
src/lib/util/statsd.ts(1,31): error TS2497: Module '"statsd-client"' resolves to a non-module entity and cannot be imported using this construct.
$ typings install --global 'github:garthk/DefinitelyTyped/statsd-client/statsd-client.d.ts#fix-statsd-client-import-asterisk'
$ tsc -p tsconfig.build.json
$ echo $?
0

I think it's safe to claim:

• pass the Travis CI test?

UPDATE: aah, I see the note in the contribution guide, now. Closed and re-opened to kick Travis off…

UPDATE: fine. I'll make some change to the commit message and git push -f, then.

@garthk Thank you for your contribution.
Looks good to me about this changing.

And please remove the statsd-client-import-asterisk-tests.ts.tscparams file.

[garthk]

@horiuchi, npm test fails without the statsd-client-import-asterisk-tests.ts.tscparams file because statsd-client-import-asterisk-tests.ts requires ES6 module style and targets. Please advise if there is some other way to test import * without the tscparams file.

statsd-client/statsd-client-import-asterisk-tests.ts(1,31): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'statsd-client'.

UPDATE: /// <reference path="statsd-client.d.ts" /> FTW

[garthk]

Rebased on current master.

[garthk]

@yuit, I've removed the file as @horiuchi requested and rebased on `master. I trust we're good to go.

@garthk Thanks!
