Cameron Sparr db7a4b24b6 Implement telegraf's own full metric type
main reasons behind this:
- make adding/removing tags cheap
- make adding/removing fields cheap
- make parsing cheaper
- make parse -> decorate -> write out bytes metric flow much faster

Refactor serializer to use byte buffer

Instrumental Output Plugin

This plugin writes to the Instrumental Collector API and requires a Project-specific API token.

Instrumental accepts stats in a format very close to Graphite, with the only difference being that the type of stat (gauge, increment) is the first token, separated from the metric itself by whitespace. The increment type is only used if the metric comes in as a counter through [[input.statsd]].

Configuration:

[[outputs.instrumental]]
  ## Project API Token (required)
  api_token = "API Token"  # required
  ## Prefix the metrics with a given name
  prefix = ""
  ## Stats output template (Graphite formatting)
  ## see https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md#graphite
  template = "host.tags.measurement.field"
  ## Timeout in seconds to connect
  timeout = "2s"
  ## Debug true - Print communcation to Instrumental
  debug = false
