Code Issues Proposed changes

Add information about Prometheus plugin to README 

Prometheus plugin support is emphasized in README.rst. Also formating of
the first page is updated to improve readability. Promethes section in
Plugins.md is fixed to be correctly referenced from table of content.

Introduction
============
The Monasca Agent is a modern Python monitoring agent for gathering
The *Monasca Agent* is a modern Python monitoring agent for gathering
metrics and sending them to the Monasca API. The Agent supports
collecting metrics from a variety of sources as follows:
- System metrics such as cpu and memory utilization.
- Nagios plugins. The Monasca Agent can run Nagios plugins and send the
status code returned by the plugin as a metric to the Monasca API.
- Statsd. The Monasca Agent supports an integrated Statsd daemon which
can be used by applications via a statsd client library.
- Host alive. The Monasca Agent can perform active checks on a host to
determine if it is alive using ping (ICMP) or SSH.
- Process checks. The Monasca Agent can check a process and return
several metrics on the process such as a number of instances, memory,
io and threads.
- Http Endpoint checks. The Monasca Agent can perform active checks on
http endpoints by sending an HTTP request to an API.
- Service checks. The Agent can check services such as MySQL, RabbitMQ,
and many more.
- OpenStack metrics. The agent can perform checks on OpenStack
processes.
- The Agent can automatically detect and setup checks on certain
processes and resources.

Prometheus
The *Monasca Agent* supports scraping metrics from endpoints provided by
*Prometheus exporters* or *Prometheus* instrumented applications.
Statsd
The *Monasca Agent* supports an integrated *StatsD* daemon which
can be used by applications via a statsd client library.
OpenStack metrics
The agent can perform checks on OpenStack processes.
Host alive

determine if it is alive using ping (ICMP) or SSH.
Process checks
The *Monasca Agent* can check a process and return
several metrics on the process such as a number of instances, memory,
io and threads.

Nagios plugins
The *Monasca Agent* can run *Nagios* plugins and send the
status code returned by the plugin as a metric to the Monasca API.
The Agent can automatically detect and setup checks on certain
processes and resources.
The Agent is extensible through the configuration of additional plugins,
written in Python.

On Linux, if the Agent is not run as root or the owner of the process the io metrics and the open_file_descriptors metric will fail to be reported if the mon-agent user does not have permission to get it for the process.
## Prometheus Client
## Prometheus
This plugin is for scraping metrics from endpoints that are created by prometheus client libraries - https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/clientlibs/
It can be configured in two ways. One being manually setting all the endpoints that you want to scrape. The other being
