Title: fixed default retention suggestion

the previous settings creates an aggregation problem because of http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/0.9.10/whisper.html#archives-retention-and-precision

each metric bucket size needs to divide evenly into the next resolution up. the first bucket (10s:6h) is 2160 elements, so either 1min:6d needs to be the next bucket, and 10min:1800d the following, or the first bucket needs to be changed to 10s:252m.

I left the text description at '5 years' because 1800 days is 4.93 years...
