Add prometheus_client service output module, update prometheus client

- Adds a client implementation using the prometheus go_client library
  that exposes metrics.

- Adds a new type of output "ServiceOutput" which follows inline with
  the "ServicePlugin", adding a Stop and Start method for the service

This change also requires the newer prometheus/client_golang code, so
the prometheus plugin needed to be changed.

Added the following to Godep:
    - bitbucket.org/ww/goautoneg (in github.com/common/expfmt/encode.go)
    - prometheus/common/expfmt (in plugins/prometheus.go)
    - github.com/prometheus/common/model (in plugins/prometheus.go)
    - github.com/prometheus/procfs (in github.com/client_golang/prometheus)
    - github.com/beorn7/perks/quantile (in github.com/client_golang/prometheus)

## Service Outputs
This section is for developers who want to create new "service" output. A
service output differs from a regular output in that it operates a background service
while Telegraf is running. One example would be the `prometheus_client` output,
which operates an HTTP server.
Their interface is quite similar to a regular output, with the addition of `Start()`
and `Stop()` methods.
### Service Output Guidelines
* Same as the `Output` guidelines, except that they must conform to the
`plugins.ServiceOutput` interface.
### Service Output interface
```go
type ServiceOutput interface {
Connect() error
Close() error
Description() string
SampleConfig() string
Write(points []*client.Point) error
Start() error
Stop()
}
```
