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
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.
closes#1623
