Title: adding fork_rate plugin for monitoring the amount of forks per minute

This is a pretty simple and basic way to grab the fork rate of a node.

I couldn't find any documentation on the yaml files which I assume are metadata for the graphs, so please point me in the right direction if that's required.

according to wikipedia vmstat is available on BSDs, Solaris, and Linux, although unfortunately I only have linux nodes to test on.
