Exporter returns zero values instead of no data when UPS is disconnected #27

When UPS is disconnected, apcupsd_exporter returns zero metrics (e.g. apcupsd_line_volts{ups="foobar"} 0) instead of returning error or just omitting missing metrics values, which pollute Prometheus with bogus data.

@WGH- If you're interested, I just wrote my apcupsd exporter.
