Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(influxdb-v1): remove retired _internal stat fields
 from measurements-internal

httpd.valuesWrittenOK, write.pointsWrittenOK, write.valuesWrittenOK, and
write.subWriteDrop no longer exist in InfluxDB v1's _internal measurements.
Engineering confirmed on influxdata/docs-v2#7684 that httpd.valuesWrittenOK
was declared but never emitted (removed in 1.9.0), write.subWriteDrop was
removed for 1.10.0, and the two write.*WrittenOK fields never existed.
hh_database is confirmed to exist in Enterprise's hinted-handoff service,
so it stays documented without the prior "unconfirmed" caveat.

Closes #7684
