MovingAverages (Metrics Parent 4.1.0 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

ExponentialMovingAverages, SlidingTimeWindowMovingAverages
```
public interface MovingAverages
```
A triple of moving averages (one-, five-, and fifteen-minute moving average) as needed by Meter.
Included implementations are:
- ExponentialMovingAverages exponential decaying average similar to the top Unix command.
- SlidingTimeWindowMovingAverages simple (unweighted) moving average
