telemetry: Improve parsing of disabled-metrics flag (#2389)

* optimized parse cli's disabledMetrics flag string to initTelemetry

* add splitTrim to obtain string slice that not contain empty string

* change TestSplitTrim error output

* gofmt for run_test.go

* restore name of disabledMetrics made more sense

* optimized TestSplitTrim case

* just update splitTrim comment to force CI restart
