Add fluentd monitoring to fluentd-gcp image
Right now we are not able to monitor the state of fluentd in cluster, which may result in logging subsystem quietly failing. This PR tries to address that problem by introducing the fluentd container monitoring:
* fluentd internal metrics, like number of buffers and number of data in buffers
* `logging_line_count`, number of lines, read by fluentd from application containers' logs
* Has `tag` label, corresponding to the fluentd tag of the entry
* `logging_entry_count`, number of entries, emitted to the output plugin
* With label `component` set to `container`, generated by application containers
* With label `component` set to `system`, generated by system components like kubelet, docker, scheduler, etc.
* Has `tag` label, corresponding to the fluentd tag of the entry

Try parse golang logs by default
Glog by default logs to stderr, so Stackdriver Logging shows them all as errors. This PR makes fluentd try to parse messages using glog format and if succeeded, set timestamp and severity accordingly.

We can then avoid the following warning:
```
WARNING: The '--' argument must be specified between gcloud specific args on the left and DOCKER_ARGS on the right. IMPORTANT: previously, commands allowed the omission of the --, and unparsed arguments were treated as implementation args. This usage is being deprecated and will be removed in March 2017.
This will be strictly enforced in March 2017. Use 'gcloud beta docker' to see new behavior.

Only run the systemd-journal plugin when on a platform that requests it.
The plugin crashes the fluentd process if the journal isn't present, so
it can't just be run blindly in all configurations.
It includes some performance improvements for parsing JSON (which is
very important for us, since all Docker logs are JSON) as well as a
couple new settings, like forcing of a flush of multiline logs after a
time period rather than having to wait until a new log is seen before
feeling confident flushing the previous one.
I didn't expect glog to split single log statements onto multiple lines,
but apparently it does if they're long enough. This groups them back
together appropriately.
