Component that records all events and state changes and feeds the data to
a graphite installation.
Example configuration:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
graphite:
  host: foobar
  port: 2003
  prefix: ha
```

All config elements are optional, and assumed to be on localhost at the
default port if not specified. Prefix is the metric prefix in graphite,
and defaults to 'ha'.
