- Mostly docstring fixed/additions.
(Please review these carefully, since most of them were missing, I
had to guess them from an outsider's perspective. (Which on the
other hand proves how desperately required many of these docstrings
are.))
- Removed all uses of new(...) to meet our own style guide (draft).
- Fixed all other 'go vet' and 'golint' issues (except those that are
not fixable (i.e. caused by bugs in or by design of 'go vet' and
'golint')).
- Some trivial refactorings, like reorder functions, minor renames, ...
- Some slightly less trivial refactoring, mostly to reduce code
duplication by embedding types instead of writing many explicit
forwarders.
- Cleaned up the interface structure a bit. (Most significant probably
the removal of the View-like methods from MetricPersistenc. Now they
are only in View and not duplicated anymore.)
- Removed dead code. (Probably not all of it, but it's a first
step...)
- Fixed a leftover in storage/metric/end_to_end_test.go (that made
some parts of the code never execute (incidentally, those parts
were broken (and I fixed them, too))).

This commit fixes a critique of the old storage API design, whereby
the input parameters were always as raw bytes and never Protocol
Buffer messages that encapsulated the data, meaning every place a
read or mutation was conducted needed to manually perform said
translations on its own. This is taxing.
