Title: add path suffix

I use graphite for many things:

* Diamond
* Custom code that send their stats to pystatsd
* Shinken monitoring (nagios replacement) performance data

Because all those send their metrics straight at the root of hostname path it can get messy quickly.

The best, for me, is to have metrics in the following paths:

hostname.$category.$metric

I already add to Shinken the ability to do that: https://github.com/naparuba/shinken/pull/510
So now it send it's metrics to $hostname.shinken.$stuff

For PyStatsd, I have my own hack. where it's in $hostname.stats.$stuff

and there is Diamond.
