Patch to add FreeBSD memory stats to Datadog

The stock Datadog agent only reports the bare minimum of available memory stats from FreeBSD. The https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil used by Datadog for collecting memory stats has several additional stats from FreeBSD:

* Active memory
* Inactive memory
* Buffers
* Wired memory
* Laundry list

The attached straightforward patch simply adds these stats to the Datadog system.mem family of metrics.  We've been using these for a couple of weeks now with good luck, and now actually far more useful memory graphs in Datadog.

I hope you find this useful.  And as before: Thanks for the Datadog agent port!
