In local development StatsD is raising `OSError: [WinError 10049] The requested address is not valid in its context` when env variable `STATSD_HOST` is not set. This seems to just be a Windows issue as the error suggests, because I can't get it to happen inside Docker.

This is happening because the default empty string of `settings.STATSD_HOST` gets set as the default host of `statsd.Connection`, and the empty string is not a valid host name in Windows.

StatsD sets the default `host` value to `'localhost'`, and restoring this default fixes the errors. I can make a PR tomorrow, but just wanted to check on this:

I can change it to `if os.environ.get("STATSD_HOST", False):`, but it might make more sense as a separate env variable like `STATSD_ENABLED`. My only concern with that is it's probably a breaking change. Are there any better options?
