This changes the current use of the InfluxDB client to instead use a
baked-in client that uses the fasthttp library.
This allows for significantly smaller allocations, the re-use of http
body buffers, and the re-use of the actual bytes of the line-protocol
metric representations.
main reasons behind this:
- make adding/removing tags cheap
- make adding/removing fields cheap
- make parsing cheaper
- make parse -> decorate -> write out bytes metric flow much faster
Refactor serializer to use byte buffer
And use them in the prometheus output plugin.
Still need to test the prometheus output plugin.
Also need to actually create typed metrics in the system plugins.

Adding precision rounding to the accumulator. This means that now every
input metric will get rounded at collection, rather than at write (and
only for the influxdb output).
This feature is disabled for service inputs, because service inputs
should be in control of their own timestamps & precisions.
This constitutes a large change in how we will parse different data
formats going forward (for the plugins that support it)
This is working off @henrypfhu's changes.
This will basically make the root directory a place for storing the
major telegraf interfaces, which will make telegraf's godoc looks quite
a bit nicer. And make it easier for contributors to lookup the few data
types that they actually care about.
