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.
see #1717
I added Rows/Logs max size counters for tracking databases that do not have autogrowth enabled. The counters return numbers in 8KB pages since there are a few special values (such as -1 for no max size) that can't directly be multiplied by 8192 to get size in bytes.
Also added Rows/Logs size in 8KB pages for comparison from the same system table. Even though it returns the same size as sizes from sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats which are already collected.
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.
