Metric separator configuration

[Glandos]

It might not be a real issue for some people, but using it with InfluxDB creates series like host/cpu-0/cpu-idle.
The '/' separator is a bit annoying here, considering that a lot of graphing software (like Grafana) are using the "Graphite standard" which is the dot.

I know that configuration can happen in another place, but do you think we could make it configurable so that the '/' could be change to another character (or string)?

haha, I think the '.' separator is annoying because hostnames contain dots (graphite-project/graphite-web#191). But I'll see what I can do about being able to change the separator

Indeed, that's why the write_graphite plugin of collectd has an
EscapeCharacter parameter, defaulted to '_'
However, in the binary protocol, it is obviously not escaped.

Thanks for having a look at this!
