comments on default metric collections

I plan on merging the metric-tweaks branch into master. I know we went
to-and-fro on this but before I commit to master, I want to bring this
up again to have one final discussion around it because the last time it
ended up being something like "hold off on this until we think about it
some more" :}

The issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=741331

We have lots of metrics enabled that no one really cares about, and many
collect far to frequently by default.

So here are the metrics that will be turned on by default - all others
will be disabled out of box when you first install:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=741331#c4

Defaults are now on the order of 10 or 20 minutes, as opposed to 1 or 5
minutes.

These are only the out-of-box defaults for new installations.

Obviously, users can change these defaults (via metric "templates") and
can change individual resource values (via metric "schedules").
