Troy Sankey ece785ff92 Implement the newrelic_custom_metrics middleware
Use this middleware and its helpers to accumulate custom New Relic
metrics on a per-request basis.  If, while handling a request, the app
does not accumulate any metrics, this middleware is a very lightweight
no-op.

This commit also enables the middleware!

"""
Middleware for handling the storage, aggregation, and reporing of custom New
Relic metrics.
This middleware will only call on the newrelic agent if there are any metrics
to report for this request, so it will not incur any processing overhead for
request handlers which do not record custom metrics.
