What does this PR do?

This PR documents behavior of the dogapi library that can unexpectedly inflate billing.

Description of the Change

Adds documentation of how the host field is automatically set, and how that behavior can cause the creation of an excessive number of custom metrics.

Alternate Designs

One could also change the behavior of dogapi so that host detection was an opt-in rather than an auto-behavior. However that might break other customers installations.

Possible Drawbacks

The documentation may be less readable. This is worth a review to make sure that it appropriately matches the voice and interests of datadog.

Verification Process

It's a doc update

Additional Notes

This issue can potentially increase usage and customer costs, leading to a lack of trust in the library.
