Nagios parser does not strip quotes from performance data

[danielnelson]

Bug report

The nagios parser should remove quoting from the performance data.

See https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html#AEN200 for details.

Relevant telegraf.conf:

[[inputs.exec]]
  commands = ["cat nagios"]
  data_format = "nagios"

$ cat nagios
OK: Load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 | 'load1'=0.00;0:4;0:6;0; 'load5'=0.01;0:3;0:5;0; 'load15'=0.05;0:2;0:4;0;

System info:

Telegraf 1.6.1

Steps to reproduce:

1. telegraf --input-filter exec --test

Expected behavior:

> nagios_state state=0i 1525116499000000000
> load1 min=0,value=0 1525116499000000000
> load5 min=0,value=0.01 1525116499000000000
> load15 min=0,value=0.05 1525116499000000000

It might be better to turn the label into a tag:

> nagios state=0i 1525116499000000000
> nagios,perfdata=load1 min=0,value=0 1525116499000000000
> nagios,perfdata=load5 min=0,value=0.01 1525116499000000000
> nagios,perfdata=load15 min=0,value=0.05 1525116499000000000

Actual behavior:

> nagios_state state=0i 1525116499000000000
> 'load1' min=0,value=0 1525116499000000000
> 'load5' min=0,value=0.01 1525116499000000000
> 'load15' min=0,value=0.05 1525116499000000000
