- 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.
* Customizable 'separator' option instead of hard-coded '_'
* String values are sent as "State" instead of "Metric", preventing
Riemann from rejecting them
* Riemann service name is set to an (ugly) combination of input name &
(sorted) tags' values...this allows connecting different events for
the same input together on the Riemann side

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.

With the advent of Kafka 0.9.0+ it is possible to set up TLS client
certificate based authentication to limit access to Kafka.
Four new configuration variables are specified for setting up the
authentication. If they're not set the behavior stays the same as
before the change.
