Split the collector

Registered by Julien Danjou

The collector has 2 purposes:
- convert Notifications into Samples (and optionally store the notification)
- store Samples received over RPC

I propose we split this in 2 differents services for better redundancy and scalability.

Have we determined that this is actually a scalability issue yet ... shouldn't we be able to run multiple collectors to horizontally scale? -Sandy
