Add command line flag to disable metrics about the exporter it-self (#…

…885)

PR #356 introduced an API option to disable default exporter metrics (process_* and go_*).
However there is no command line flag to actually set this option. This change adds
the command line flag `--no-collector.exporter-metrics` to disable those metrics.
