I don't like this behavior, but it's what InfluxDB accepts, so the
telegraf listener should be consistent with that.
I accidentally reverted this behavior when I refactored the telegraf
metric representation earlier in this release cycle.
in this commit:
- chunks out the http request body to avoid making very large
allocations.
- establishes a limit for the maximum http request body size that the
listener will accept.
- utilizes a pool of byte buffers to reduce GC pressure.
also remove locking around adding metrics. Instead, keep a waitgroup on
the ServeHTTP function and wait for that to finish before returning from
the Stop() function
