Librato Dependence makes live testing hard

[xkmato]

Right now mage cannot send messages if the production switch is not set to 1. But when that is done, it expects a working configuration of Librato(Collectd). This dependency makes it hard to test in a live environment, especially because Librato is not a free service.

I am suggesting we provide a switch that can allow mage to send messages to rapidpro even with the production switch off. Or make Librato an optional dependency in production.

We could update this so that if you don't provide a Librato key, then calls to the analytics functions are just NOOPs, regardless of the value of production

Ya, that's what we do in RapidPro..
