this is for supporting external plugins.
external plugins will depend on a few telegraf interface types, as well
as a common telegraf registry.
this will allow external and internal plugins to both share this package
and make it easier to vendor/version the whole thing semantically, which
will make it easier to keep plugins supported across build and telegraf
versions.

The iptables plugin aims at monitoring bytes and packet counters
matching a given set of iptables rules.
Typically the user would set a dedicated monitoring chain into a given
iptables table, and add the rules to monitor to this chain. The plugin
will allow to focus on the counters for this particular table/chain.
