Title: Pass in cluster to create Cassandra

Allow a cluster to be passed in when creating the Cassandra object. This allows users to specify a lot of other options (authentication, compression, etc) outside of the metrics-cassandra library. Move reconnect attempts into creation of cluster. I debated creating two static factories that could call the came constructor but went this route to maintain backwards compatability.
