Change default for --metric-interval to 0 (breaking change)

See related discussion: #97 (comment) > I think we should move this default to zero. Essentially I don't see real case of changing metric names in any application. Metric names are generally stable AFAIK, do you know any cases where that's not true? Are they often? cc @jmichalek132 Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Plotka <[email protected]>
