// Graphite doesn't support tags, so label names and values must be
// encoded into the metric path. The list of characters that are usable
// with Graphite is rather fuzzy. One 'source of truth' might be the grammar
// used to parse requests in the webapp:
// https://github.com/graphite-project/graphite-web/blob/master/webapp/graphite/render/grammar.py#L83
// The list of valid symbols is defined as:
//   legal = printables - symbols + escaped(symbols)
//
// The default storage backend for Graphite (whisper) stores data
// in filenames, so we also need to use only valid filename characters.
// Fortunately on UNIX only '/' isn't, and Windows is completely unsupported
// by Graphite: http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html#windows-users
// escape escapes a model.LabelValue into runes allowed in Graphite. The runes
// allowed in Graphite are all single-byte. This function encodes the arbitrary
// byte sequence found in this TagValue in way very similar to the traditional
// percent-encoding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding):
//
// - The string that underlies TagValue is scanned byte by byte.
//
// - If a byte represents a legal Graphite rune with the exception of '%', '/',
//   '=' and '.', that byte is directly copied to the resulting byte slice.
//   % is used for percent-encoding of other bytes.
//   / is not usable in filenames.
//   = is used when generating the path to associate values to labels.
//   . already means something for Graphite and thus can't be used in a value.
//
// - If the byte is any of (){},=.'"\, then a '\' will be prepended to it. We
//   do not percent-encode them since they are explicitly usable in this
//   way in Graphite.
//
// - All other bytes are replaced by '%' followed by two bytes containing the
//   uppercase ASCII representation of their hexadecimal value.
//
// This encoding allows to save arbitrary Go strings in Graphite. That's
// required because Prometheus label values can contain anything. Using
// percent encoding makes it easy to unescape, even in javascript.
//
// Examples:
//
// "foo-bar-42" -> "foo-bar-42"
//
// "foo_bar%42" -> "foo_bar%2542"
//
// "http://example.org:8080" -> "http:%2F%2Fexample%2Eorg:8080"
//
// "Björn's email: bjoern@soundcloud.com" ->
// "Bj%C3%B6rn's%20email:%20bjoern%40soundcloud.com"
//
// "日" -> "%E6%97%A5"
