Description

Currently, in order to use a reporter one must configure something like this:

metrics.reporters: jmx
metrics.reporter.jmx.class: ...

It would be neat if users did not have to set metrics.reporters. We can accomplish this by a scanning the configuration for configuration keys starting with metrics.reporter. and using the next word as a reporter name.

We can instead use this key as an include list for reporters that should be started, which should preserve existing behavior.
