Zack Zatkin-Gold 61be19b1f0 Fix telegraf example arguments (#2788)
Many of the examples provided within documentation are using a single
dash for the command line arguments, but the telegraf executable
explicitly has two dashes.

There are also some inconsistencies with the ordering of the command
line argument examples.  I've ordered them so that the examples will
show: config, config-directory, input-filter, test

# System Input Plugin
The system plugin gathers general stats on system load, uptime,
and number of users logged in. It is basically equivalent
to the unix `uptime` command.
### Configuration:
```toml
# Read metrics about system load & uptime
[[inputs.system]]
# no configuration
```
### Measurements & Fields:
- system
- load1 (float)
- load15 (float)
- load5 (float)
- n_users (integer)
- n_cpus (integer)
- uptime (integer, seconds)
- uptime_format (string)
### Tags:
None
### Example Output:
```
$ telegraf --config ~/ws/telegraf.conf --input-filter system --test
* Plugin: system, Collection 1
* Plugin: inputs.system, Collection 1
> system,host=tyrion load1=3.72,load5=2.4,load15=2.1,n_users=3i,n_cpus=4i 1483964144000000000
> system,host=tyrion uptime=1249632i,uptime_format="14 days, 11:07" 1483964144000000000
