Title: Refactor the aggregator so that it can support timestamp for gauges

There are now two separate functions, `submit_metric` and
`submit_packets` in the aggregator. `submit_packets` will be used by
dogstatsd and will call `submit_metric` but other checks.d checks will
just call `submit_metric` directly, avoiding the conversion to and from
a packet string.

The `gauge` call now also supports having a timestamp value.
