break telegraf registry into separate package 
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.
