Title: percentile aggregator based on incoming values

wondering what the graphite team thinks of this.

initially we had an implementation that could un-parse metrics like
box.metric.histogram.10 -- 100
box.metric.histogram.90 -- 12

and understand that it meant that it should insert 100 datapoints of value 10, and 12 datapoints of value 90, but that was so gross, I went back to this and will see if our aggregator can handle the volume of dealing with raw values.
