Since PR #139, histograms are initialized to zero if they do not use any labels - however, there currently is no way to do the same for histograms with labels (without directly accessing the internals of the histogram from the outside, which is of course not a great solution).
Therefore, this PR adds a function that lets the user explicitly zero out the metrics for given labels. Since prom-client has no way of knowing what the values of the labels can be, it's up to the user to call this with all expected values.
