This makes plugin configuration more similar to output configuration,
where we can specify multiple plugins as a list. The idea behind this is
that the Telegraf agent can handle the multi-processing and error
handling better than each plugin handling that internally. This will
also allow for having different plugin configurations for different
instances of the same type of plugin.
This will provide the ability to specify multiple outputs for a single
type of output.
In essence, allowing this:
[outputs]
[[outputs.influxdb]]
urls = ["udp://localhost:8089"]
database = "udp-telegraf"
[[outputs.influxdb]]
urls = ["http://myhost:8086"]
database = "telegraf"
[[outputs.kafka]]
brokers = ["192.168.99.100:9092"]
topic = "telegraf"

- Adds a client implementation using the prometheus go_client library
that exposes metrics.
- Adds a new type of output "ServiceOutput" which follows inline with
the "ServicePlugin", adding a Stop and Start method for the service
This change also requires the newer prometheus/client_golang code, so
the prometheus plugin needed to be changed.
Added the following to Godep:
- bitbucket.org/ww/goautoneg (in github.com/common/expfmt/encode.go)
- prometheus/common/expfmt (in plugins/prometheus.go)
- github.com/prometheus/common/model (in plugins/prometheus.go)
- github.com/prometheus/procfs (in github.com/client_golang/prometheus)
- github.com/beorn7/perks/quantile (in github.com/client_golang/prometheus)

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
This also makes it so `-test` without a config file tests all available
plugins with the default configuration. This mode is very useful for
getting some initial data out of tivan.
