this is for supporting external plugins.
external plugins will depend on a few telegraf interface types, as well
as a common telegraf registry.
this will allow external and internal plugins to both share this package
and make it easier to vendor/version the whole thing semantically, which
will make it easier to keep plugins supported across build and telegraf
versions.
see #1717
* return partition stat alongside disk stat from disk usage method, and report device name (minus /dev/) as a tag in disk stats
* update system/disk tests to include new partition stat return value from disk usage method calls
* update changelog for #1807 (use device name instead of path to report disk stats)
Modern Linux has a lots of boring filesystem (tmpfs on /dev, devpts on
/dev/pts, lots of cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/*, ...).
* Ignore filesystem with 0 bytes (this cover cgroup, devpts and other).
* Add IgnoreFS to ignore additional FS by their type. Add tmpfs and
devtmpfs as default ignored type.
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.
