Title: Prevent payloads rejection due to single broken metrics

If metric for some reason changes it's type (e.g. counter => gauge)
Librato API begins to reject whole payloads containing this metric.

That's terrible, since one metric can stop the whole statsd instace from functioning.

Suggested workaround adds such rejected metrics to the stop list, removing them from all future metric payloads until statsd instance restart.
