Add a metric to track samples dropped in distributor by metric_relabel

[bboreham]

If you have a metric_relabel_configs ... action: drop then those samples disappear from cortex_distributor_received_samples_total.

I'd like them to be counted in cortex_discarded_samples_total.

Relating to the feature added in #3329
