stats_statsd: Send all stat_items as gauges

When sending a statsd metric we need to specify a type which can be a
"g"auge, "c"ounter, "t"imer, "h"istogram, and "m"eter.

We used to just pass the stat_item unit into this field, but that is the
unit of the metric (Seconds for a timer, % for utilization, ...).

Change the type field so stat_items are sent as "g"auges. Note that
negative values don't seem to be supported by statsd.
