It was found in some installations that python-cachetools needed
to be present on the system. This can happen if the installation
was configured for the Java mon-persister but the recreate-metric-id
tool is written in Python. Added a bullet item to describe this
dependency and the quick workaround of installing the
python-cachetools package.

It was discovered that the example paths included in the README.rst
used monasca-persister rather than monasca_persister.
Also added a footnote with two error messages that occur when the
contact_points is not specified correctly.

In some rare cases it is possible for a row in Cassandra for
metrics to have no value for metric_id or created_at, though
they may still have updated_at and the other required columns.
This tool is for recreating the metric_id from the other required
columns.
An additional 'persister-check-missing-metric-id.py' tool is
provided which can be run to see if there are missing metric-id
values that need to be recreated.
Please see the README.rst for usage directions.
