Feature Request: Support adding additional, user specified labels

Describe the problem
We run a large environment where Prometheus discovers exporters via service discovery. The exporters run in container orchestration so the host:port is dynamic. I would like to be able to spin up multiple redis_exporter instances dynamically in the same cluster for different purposes using a generic Prometheus config that does not need to be updated when I deploy a new Redis. I'm currently doing this for other services with labels, I include labels in my metrics that identify which subsystem those metrics represent so I can tell them apart in my configs and alerts.
As far as I can tell this exporter does not support additional labels. Am I mistaken? Is there a architectural reason for this, or would the team be open to adding this as a feature?
What version of redis_exporter are you running?
Please run redis_exporter --version if you're not sure what version you're running.
[ ] 0.3x.x
