the graphite daemons which accept the data (carbon), only
accepts numeric values, and logs all invalid lines
since that were about 5 values per vm/ct this generated lot of noise
in the carbon log
so we check with a regex if a value is numeric, and
additionally we have a blacklist of keys which seem to be numeric but
are either boolean (e.g. template) or a state (e.g. pid)

This allows filtering by node in InfluxDB queries, so the statistics
of all virtual guests on a specific nodes can be queried.
While for InfluxDB this is only a tag which does changes where the
data is stored, Graphite - our other status plugin - has no such
mechanics available. If we would add it to the object hierarchy,
e.g.: "qemu.$vmid.$nodename" a migration of a VM would result in two
different datasets.
So avoid breaking setups and omit it for Graphite for now.

If the socket couldn't be created (e.g. FQDN not resolvable) we
continued witouth any hint, when actualy writing the data we then
die'd. The user then does not really know why, so report errors
if the socket creation failed.

We only allowed servers with the dns-name format, as such status
server may often be in internal networks and with no hostname
(testing, small network so no dns, ...) do not limit the
configuration possibilities with no reason.
Also move the base property part to the base Status class, all
current plugins use server and port so no need for double
declaration of format/descriptions.
If a future plugin doesn't need them it can omit them by not
returning the respective properties in the options method
inherited by SectionConfig.

Carbon (particularly carbon-c-relay) expects one metric per line.
Current PVE implementation breaks this rule.
