Setup Prometheus to scrape speedtest_exporter

Configure Prometheus to scrape metrics from localhost:9090/metrics

This exporter locks (one concurrent scrape at a time) as it conducts the speedtest when scraped, remember set scrape interval, and scrap timeout accordingly as per example.

...
scrape_configs
    - job_name: speedtest
      scrape_interval: 60m
      scrape_timeout:  60s
      static_configs:
        - targets: ['localhost:9090']
...
