Add the ability to use rapid fire loop packets to update the database. #11

This adds the ability to use rapid fire packets like Weather Underground from the VantagePro to update the Grafana database.

Small cleanup for exceptions. A little trailing whitespace removal.

hi! thank you for the merge request, but i am a bit confused. is your intent to push LOOP data to influx, not just archive records? if so, then we should do it without any caching. the weewx WU uploader does caching for WU rapidfire because WU is riddled with bugs and inconsistent behavior. we do not have to do any of that for influx!

please try v0.8 at commit 1986ec3

use the 'binding' parameter to specify either 'loop' or 'archive' (default)
