Sending 5 historical metrics already did not match up with what was being done with the VM performance metrics.
It could easily lead to situations where timetamps were the tail end of these 5 datapoints would end up being
picked up by the following collection as well. This change also fixes an issue with the googlecloud exporter
seeing these datapoints (20s apart) as duplicates. Following is the list of affected metrics which will now only
report a single datapoint per set of unique attribute values.
The 5 data points previously sent represented consecutive 20s sampling periods. Depending on the collection interval
these could easily overlap. Sending just the latest of these data points is more in line with other performance metrics.
