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.
- 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.

- For message consumer plugins, use the Accumulator to constantly add
metrics and make Gather a dummy function
- rework unit tests to match this new behavior.
