Review Comment:
   I have been going over the approach you suggested a few times over a few 
different days, but every time I'm arriving at the same conclusion where I have 
the feeling that we're pushing too much stuff into `ScanReportParser`.
   I understand that there is a precedent for embedding the type field in the 
JSON object but I does not feel right to me to apply this here.
   
   I believe the `ScanReportParser` should not care about other metric types 
and its only responsibility should be to define how to ser/de a `ScanReport`. 
   It should also not care or know that there might be a `CommitReport` in the 
future or any other report type.
   That way the responsibility of the `ScanReportParser` is well defined and 
can be tested without any other **dependencies**.
   
   Once we have a `CommitReport`, there should be a `CommitReportParser`, which 
is only responsible for `CommitReport` things.
   
   
   The fact that we're using a generic endpoint to send reports/metrics to 
should not affect any of those existing 
`ScanReportParser`/`CommitReportParser`/`XParser` parsers in any way.
   We should have a separate parser (`SendMetricsRequestParser` in the PR) that 
properly handles how reports/metrics should be sent to this generic endpoint. 
And this parser should be re-using 
`ScanReportParser`/`CommitReportParser`/`XParser` or any other parsers to 
properly ser/de the different types it is supporting.
   After all, what if we decide in the future to use report-specific endpoints? 
We'd have to rewrite a bunch of things, because parsers contained more code 
than just what's exactly relevant to ser/de a particular instance of a class.
   
   That being said, the cost of introducing a 
`SendMetricsRequest`/`SendMetricsRequestParser` to deal with the fact that 
we're using a generic endpoint for different report types gives me a strong 
feeling that it's the correct/right approach here, because we're not leaking 
responsibility into other parsers. Additionally, the code in both of those 
classes is fairly short and easy to grasp, so that it's immediately obvious 
that the purpose of those two classes is to deal with different report types.
