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.
If we write a batch of points and get a "field type conflict" error
message in return, we should drop the entire batch of points because
this indicates that one or more points have a type that doesnt match the
database.
These errors will never go away on their own, and InfluxDB will
successfully write the points that dont have a conflict.

in this commit:
- centralize logging output handler.
- set global Info/Debug/Error log levels based on config file or flags.
- remove per-plugin debug arg handling.
- add a I!, D!, or E! to every log message.
- add configuration option to specify where to send logs.
closes#1786
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.
- Check and return error from NewBatchPoints to prevent runtime panic if
user provides an unparsable precision time unit in config.
- Provide correct sample config precision examples.
- Update etc/telegraf.conf precision comment.
closes#715
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.
