New parameters for mmkubernetes (module and action):
* `cacheexpireinterval`
If `cacheexpireinterval` is -1, then do not check for cache expiration.
If `cacheexpireinterval` is 0, then check for cache expiration.
If `cacheexpireinterval` is greater than 0, check for cache expiration
if the last time we checked was more than this many seconds ago.
* `cacheentryttl` - maximum age in seconds for cache entries
New statistics counters:
* `podcachenumentries` - the number of entries in the pod metadata cache.
* `namespacecachenumentries` - the number of entries in the namespace
metadata cache.
* `podcachehits` - the number of times a requested entry was found in the
pod metadata cache.
* `namespacecachehits` - the number of times a requested entry was found
in the namespace metadata cache.
* `podcachemisses` - the number of times a requested entry was not found
in the pod metadata cache, and had to be requested from Kubernetes.
* `namespacecachemisses` - the number of times a requested entry was not
found in the namespace metadata cache, and had to be requested from
Kubernetes.
ES 2.0 no longer supports valid JSON and disallows dots inside names.
This adds a new "json-elasticsearch" format option which replaces
those dots by the bang ("!") character. So "discarded.full" becomes
"discarded!full".
This is a workaroud. A method that will provide more control over
replacemetns will be implemented some time in the future. For
details, see below-quoted issue tracker.

... well, actually this is a first real implementation of this subsystem.
I have added a counter registry, a way to access the countres (as readable
string) and a way to define and maintem them. Also, module impstats has
been updated to utilize the new system. Finally, I added some counters. I
hope that this sets the baseline for useful future enhancements.
