DogStatsD v1.3 support an optional Unix timestamp field.

It appears that statsd_exporter may not support DogStatsD v1.3 https://docs.datadoghq.com/extend/dogstatsd/datagram_shell/?tab=metrics#dogstatsd-protocol-v13

docs:
The value is a Unix timestamp (UTC) and must be prefixed by T, for example:

<METRIC_NAME>:||#<TAG_KEY_1>:<TAG_VALUE_1>,<TAG_2>|T<METRIC_TIMESTAMP>

Example datagram
page.views:15|c|#env:dev|T1656581400: A COUNT indicating that 15 page views happened on the 30th of June, 2022 at 9:30am UTC

Do you plan to add support for protocol 1.3 and possibly all others?

We had plans of actually creating a separate Datadog parser, so that path is faster. But feel free to include it in the current parser and drop it. If you want, try raising a PR.
