support for the Go 1.8 shared object feature of loading external
plugins.
this support relies on the developer defining a `Plugin` symbol in their
.so file that is a telegraf plugin interface.
So instead of the plugin developer "Adding" their own plugin to the
telegraf registry, telegraf loads the .so, looks up the Plugin symbol,
and then adds it if it finds it.
The name of the plugin is determined by telegraf, and is namespaced
based on the filename and path.

Updated windows dependencies
Updated the windows dependencies so that the versions matched the
dependencies for Mac OS and Linux. Additionally added some that were
complained about being missing at compile time.
Incorporated kardianos/service for management
Incorporated the library github.com/kardianos/service to manage the
service on the various platforms (including Windows). This required an
alternate main function.
The original main function was renamed to reloadLoop (as that is what
the main loop in it does) (it also got a couple of parameters). The
service management library calls it as the main body of the program.
Merged service.go into telegraf.go
Due to compilation issues on Windows, moved the code from service.go
into telegraf.go and removed service.go entirely.
Updated dependencies and fixed Windows service
Updated the dependencies so that it builds properly on Windows,
additionally, fixed the registered command for starting it as
a service (needed to add the config file option). This currently
standardizes it as a C:\telegraf\telegraf.conf on Windows.
Added dependency for github.com/kardianos/service
Removed the common dependencies from _windows file
Removed all the common dependencies from the Godeps_windows file and
modified Makefile to load Godeps and then Godeps_windows when building
for Windows. This should reduce problems caused by the Godeps_windows
file being forgotten when updating dependencies.
Updated CHANGELOG.md with changes
Ran `go fmt ./...` to format code
Removed service library on all but Windows
The service library [kardianos/service](github.com/kardianos/service)
has been disabled on all platforms but windows, as there is already
existing infrastructure for other platforms.
Removed the dependency line for itself
It appears that gdm accidentally added the project itself to the
dependency list. This caused the dependency restoration to select an
earlier version of the project during build.
This only affected windows.
This only affected builds after 020b2c70
Updated documentation for Windows Service
Removed the documentation about using NSSM and added documentation on
installing telegraf directly as a Windows Service.
Added license info for kardianos/service
Added the license information for github.com/kardianos/service which is
licensed under the ZLib license, although that name is never mentioned
the license text matches word for word.
Changed the Windows Config file default location
Updated the default location of the configuration file on Windows from
C:\telegraf\telegraf.conf to C:\Program Files\Telegraf\telegraf.conf.
With this change includes updating the directions, including directing
that the executable be put into that same directory. Additionally, as
noted in the instructions, the location of the config file for the
service may be changed by specifying the location with the `-config`
flag at install time.
Fixed bug - Wrong data type: svcConfig
svcConfig service.Config => svcConfig *service.Config
(It needed to be a pointer)
This is for better thread-safety when running with multiple outputs,
which can cause very odd panics at very high loads
primarily this is to address #1432closes#1432
godep seems to have a problem when dependencies have `internal`
packages. So removing `godep go build` and `godep go test` from the
build process in favor of just checking out the correct revisions using
`godep restore` into the regular GOPATH.
This basically means that we are not actually using anything within the
Godeps directory except Godeps.json. I should probably make a separate
go dependency management system that does this.
This means that simply adding /bin to the end is not enough. Instead of
setting GOBIN, this version prepends things to the PATH. If GOBIN is
already set, simply prepends GOBIN to PATH. If not, appends /bin to
each component of GOPATH, then prepends that to PATH.
