Clarify statsd receiver use case description

Describe the issue you're reporting

The following line is not clear to me:

Use case: it does not support horizontal pool of collectors. Desired work case is that customers use the receiver as an agent with a single input at the same time.

This seems to be saying that a collector with statsd receiver should run on the same host as a process which emits statsd metrics (this is how I interpret the term "agent"), and have a one-to-one relationship with that process (single input)? The part about not supporting a horizontal pool seems clear that a process should send all of its statsd traffic to a single collector and NOT load balance across multiple.

I'd be interested in understanding why this receiver was written with this constraint. There are other StatsD aggregators such as telegraf which do not have this stipulation.
