Calendargrams, Graphite TCP-output and MSSQL DB Listener

This release is jam-packed with some awesome new features:

• Calendargrams - log unique values in a calendar-bounded time period, like sets with client-selectable time windows
• TCP output for Graphite - now you can use as a backend. Has retry logic for flaky connections.
• MSSQL DB Listener - use statsd.net to relay metrics that have been delivered by the backend, for distributed environments that use Microsoft SQL Server in a store-and-forward configuration.

I'll be adding documentation on these features soon. Please see the example configuration files for now and feel free to ask questions directly to me or as issues on the project.

Experimental Support for Calendargrams

This is an Alpha Release

Calendargram is a new type of metric that helps you track uniques over a calendar-based time period. You can use it to track items such as number of hits per hour, number of hits per day, or even number of hits per month. There is no need to predefine buckets - just specify your desired period when sending the metric.

statsd.net v1.3 - additional startup metrics, http listener improvements

This a minor release that provides additional metrics for system startup.

New metrics:

• system startup marker (use with [drawAsInfinite] in Graphite (http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/1.0/functions.html#graphite.render.functions.drawAsInfinite))
• metrics on backends, listeners and aggregators
• metrics on TCP Listener socket errors, IO errors

Http listener improvements:

• the listener will now respond with a 200 OK for root requests (i.e. / ) - this is useful if you use a load balancer that pings for uptime.

There is one bug fix:

• TCP Listener was not decrementing the connection count on disconnection.
