This fixes a data race on the listener(s) that get started in the
metrics plugins.
It also restore pkg/uniq to its former glory and removes and state being
carried in there; this means for metrics that registry.go was to
replicate that behavior *with* locking (as pkg/uniq doesn't do, or need
that).
Also renamed uniqAddr to just u, to make it slightly shorter.
