Protobuf exposition format should be added to the Prometheus exporter #20

Currently only the text format is supported. The code should be refactored to handle both the text and protobuf formats, possibly by introducing an immediate representation and a pluggable backend.

"As of Prometheus version 2.0, all processes that expose metrics to Prometheus need to use a text-based format."
