Adds an exec plugin suggested in #24. The plugin reads flattened metrics from one or more commands that output JSON to stdout.

Collaborated with @jpalay

jsonOut, err := simplejson.NewJson(out)

Instead of using simplejson, could we just use the standard library "encoding/json" here? I think something like this should work:

var jsonOut interface{}
err := json.Unmarshal(out, &jsonOut)

@alvaromorales thanks much! looks good other than I think that we can eliminate the dependency on simplejson.

The reason being that telegraf can start to get pretty bloated with dependencies and I'd prefer to tend towards standard libraries where possible.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree with eliminating dependencies where possible.
