Starting in 2.4, the toner color was not shown in supply_toner metric. This is now supported by
migrating these metrics to supply_toner_{black|cyan|magenta|yellow} if a color is found.
Otherwise, the supply_toner_other metric will be used.
Note: this means that history of the previous supply_toner metric will not be connected to the
new color metric history. However, you will still see its history in the respective service's
detailed view.
In addition, this change drops the pages metric as it's not related to the data derived from the
SNMP data. The readability of labels for the existing results and metrics were also improved,
removing any redundant information.
