support for the Go 1.8 shared object feature of loading external
plugins.
this support relies on the developer defining a `Plugin` symbol in their
.so file that is a telegraf plugin interface.
So instead of the plugin developer "Adding" their own plugin to the
telegraf registry, telegraf loads the .so, looks up the Plugin symbol,
and then adds it if it finds it.
The name of the plugin is determined by telegraf, and is namespaced
based on the filename and path.
see #1717
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.

started working on this with the idea of fixing #1623, although I
realized that this was actually just a documentation issue around
a toml eccentricity.

this will now be the default config file location on windows, basically
it is the windows equivalent of /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf
also updating the changelog
closes#1543
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.
use a common function between collection_jitter and flush_jitter. which
creates the same behavior between the two options.
going forward, both jitters will be random sleeps that get re-evaluated
at runtime for every interval (previously only collection_jitter did
this)
also fixes behavior so that both jitters will exit in the event of a
process exit.

closes#199closes#944
this includes:
- Add Accumulator to the Start() function of service inputs
- 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.
- make "flush_buffer_when_full" a config option that defaults to true
closes#666
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.
