Add support for dynamic reconfiguration #55

When running on the broker side, MetricsReporter plugins can be reconfigured at runtime. Currently metrics-reporter does not define any configurations as reconfigurable.

We should make the prometheus.metrics.reporter.allowlist configuration reconfigurable. It is often useful for operators to adjust the metrics collected at runtime in order to diagnose and investigate issues. This is currently possible when using jmx_reporter.

None of the other metrics-reporter configurations really benefit from being reconfigured, so I propose to not update them.
