Title: Allow setting a default sampling factor.

This allows setting a default sampling factor for a statsy client. Apparently (and sadly) the only common way to "scale" statsd so far is by downsampling on the clients. To make heavy use of this client-side downsampling, it can be useful to set this value to <1 as a default for an application.
