Julien Danjou 40684dafae collector: never allow to lose data
The current default allows to lose data very easily: if the dispatcher
fails to send data to the backend (e.g. Gnocchi is down), then the
dispatcher raises and the data are lost for ever. This is completely
unacceptable, and nobody should be able to configure Ceilometer in that
way.

This patch entirely remove that option, and switch the behavior to
something sane.

- >
The previous configuration options default for
`requeue_sample_on_dispatcher_error' and
`requeue_event_on_dispatcher_error' allowed to lose data very easily: if
the dispatcher failed to send data to the backend (e.g. Gnocchi is down),
then the dispatcher raised and the data were lost forever. This was
completely unacceptable, and nobody should be able to configure Ceilometer
in that way."
upgrade:
- >
The options `requeue_event_on_dispatcher_error' and
`requeue_sample_on_dispatcher_error' have been enabled and removed.
