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.
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.
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.
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.
This constitutes a large change in how we will parse different data
formats going forward (for the plugins that support it)
This is working off @henrypfhu's changes.
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.

Config in the config directory will need to be merged into the main
config, which is difficult to do using the *ast.Tables. Get the config
into structs as soon as possible and then merge the structs.
This can be easily extended to other plugins that need it by tacking
their name onto the switch statement. Also eliminating the unused
TestAllPlugins code and cleaning up some stray Printlns
