Many collectors depend on underlying features to be enabled. This causes
confusion about what "success" means. This changes the behavior of the
`node_scrape_collector_success` metric.
* When a collector is unable to find data don't return success.
* Catch the no data error and send to Debug log level to avoid log spam.
* Update collectors to support this new functionality.
* Fix copy-pasta mistake in infiband debug message.

Enable NFS client metrics by default now that it nolonger prints errors
on scrape if there are no metrics to display.
Also fixup the nfsd README to match the nfs entry.
* Update vendor github.com/prometheus/procfs/...
* Refactor NFS collector
Use new procfs library to parse NFS client stats.
* Ignore nfs proc file not existing.
* Refactor with reflection to walk the structs.
* Move NodeCollector into package collector
* Refactor collector enabling
* Update README with new collector enabled flags
* Fix out-of-date inline flag reference syntax
* Use new flags in end-to-end tests
* Add flag to disable all default collectors
* Track if a flag has been set explicitly
* Add --collectors.disable-defaults to README
* Revert disable-defaults flag
* Shorten flags
* Fixup timex collector registration
* Fix end-to-end tests
* Change procfs and sysfs path flags
* Fix review comments
Named return variables should only be used to describe the returned type
further, e.g. `err error` doesn't add any new information and is just
stutter.
This change adds a new collector called "nfs" that parses the contents
of /proc/net/rpc/nfs and turns it into metrics. It can be used to
inspect the number of operations per type, but also to keep an eye on an
extraneous number of retransmissions, which may indicate connectivity
issues.
I've picked the name "nfs", as most operating systems use "nfs" for the
client component and "nfsd" as the server component. If we want to add
stats for the NFS server as well, we'd better call such a collector
"nfsd".
