Title: Updated Graphite schema example to help prevent data loss.

Many people are seeing their data disappear because of the xFilesFactor default of 0.5 in Graphite (this means if 50% of datapoints are None, put None in the next retention rate when rolling up data) We've handled many of these questions in the Graphite mailing list, and think that recommending an xFilesFactor of 0 for all stats metrics is a good idea (no one likes to see data suddenly disappear...) I've updated the section about graphite settings, and added some additional info as well.
