Feature request : utility tag sanitization method about stackexchange.metrics

[bretcope]

This would be super simple. Just need to provide a function which does a replace on the InvalidChars regex. Probably all of that Validation class could be moved and made public.

I guess I forgot that there already is a NameTransformers.Sanitize() which converts all spans of invalid chars to a single underscore (or simply removes it if it's at the beginning or end of the string).

I'll probably keep that the way it is, and also make the invalid chars regex public so that people can write their own sanitize function if they want different functionality.

I've made this change. The validation class is now named BosunValidation, and is public under the top namespace.

I also added a global tag value sanitize/normalize function option which you could use if you want the ability to apply a function to tag values across all metrics. See BosunOptions.cs.

Awesome; thanks
