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.
Changing the internal behavior around running plugins. Each plugin
will now have it's own goroutine with it's own ticker. This means that a
hung plugin will not block any other plugins. When a plugin is hung, we
will log an error message every interval, letting users know which
plugin is hung.
Currently the input interface does not have any methods for killing a
running Gather call, so there is nothing we can do but log an "ERROR"
and move on. This will give some visibility into the plugin that is
acting up.

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.
