Most important here is the simple & flat text format, but while I'm on
it, I have also added the text representations for protobufs (which is
purely meant for debugging purposes). I hope my basic idea about
handling those various protocols (and the text package) becomes
clearer now.

The LabelsToSignature function is now used outside of the prometheus
package, too. Leaving it in the prometheuos package is misleading
design and will lead to circulat import chains soon.

The idea here is to always go via the protobufs if dealing with the
text format. That won't always be the most efficient way, but it
avoids the multiplicity of conversion routines required for direct
conversion (e.g. text format -> internal representation in the
Prometheus server). The loss of efficiency is acceptable because the
text format should not be used in high performance (high throughput,
low latency) situations anyway.
In that way, the text format stays perfectly isolated from other parts
of the code. To receive text format, just plug the conversion in
before the code path that normally reads protobufs. Correspondingly,
for sending text format, simply replace the WriteDelimited call by a
text.Create call.
Nevertheless, the conversion code itself is optimized for efficiency
and minimized memory churn (which was one of the reason for handcoding
the parser and not using a lexer/parser code generation tool).

This hook is needed for the upcoming push gateway.
Also remove go vet warnings and add test for Handler().

This also adds a check that forbids any user-supplied metrics to start
with the reserved label name prefix "__".

This ensures that you can pass the same base label set into multiple
Register() calls, e.g.:
labels := map[string]string{"key": "value"}
prometheus.Register("metric_1", "", labels, ...)
prometheus.Register("metric_2", "", labels, ...)

* Drop `AsMarshallable()` from the Metric interface. Use
`json.Marshaler` and `MarshalJSON()`, and leverage JSON struct tags
where possible.
* Add `MarshalJSON()` to Registry and remove `dumpToWriter`, which
makes the registry handler much simpler.
In addition to simplifying some of the marshalling behavior, this also
has the nice side effect of cutting down the number of
`map[string]interface{}` instances.
