- Introduce a new telemetry configurable parameter retry_failed_connection. User can set the value to true to let consul agent continue its start process on failed connection to datadog server. When set to false, agent will stop on failed start. The default behavior is true.

This might be better handled by allowing configuration for the InMemSink interval and retail, and disabling
the global. For now this is a smaller change to remove the goroutine leak caused by tests because go-metrics
does not provide any way of shutting down the global goroutine.
All these changes should have no side-effects or change behavior:
- Use bytes.Buffer's String() instead of a conversion
- Use time.Since and time.Until where fitting
- Drop unnecessary returns and assignment
