It’d be helpful if the docs described error handling

Research direction
Start by tracing the metric emission path and reviewing the existing error-handling documentation. Determine and document what happens when transmission fails, including the closed-UDP-socket case; whether a specific exception should be introduced remains an API-design question to clarify before implementation.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
There’s no mention of what happens if an attempt to emit a metric fails, for example if, I dunno, maybe if the UDP socket is closed.
If an exception might be raised, it would be helpful if it was a specific exception subclass, something like Datadog::TransmissionError, so it could be rescued and handled specifically.
