Support for StatsD metrics

[crolfe]

Something that came up in a discussion with my team the other day is it would be nice to be able to see some metrics that will tell me when preoomkiller has kicked in and does its thing.

StatsD should be a good protocol for this, as it's lightweight (all traffic is via UDP), is well-supported by observability tools/platforms, and it should be easy to integrate as there existing crates. We would require some additional configuration flags (e.g. --statsd-host and --statsd-port), to turn this feature on, but it would be off by default if these are not set.

Is this something this project would be willing to support? If so, I will send a PR.

sounds good! ... might also need --statsd-namespace
