Highlights

• Excessive logging can be disabled (in graphite-web and carbon)
• Tagging can be disabled if not used in carbon (improves performance)
• New function aggregateSeriesLists() and aliases for diffSeriesLists(), sumSeriesLists(), multiplySeriesLists()
• Support for Aggregated-Consistent Hash in carbonate
• Multiple bugfixes, especially for Graphite-web (see full list below)

Thanks a lot for all Graphite contributors and users!
