Mark Goddard 56a07702bc Performance: use a single config file for fluentd
Currently we generate multiple fluentd configuration files for inputs,
filters, formatters and outputs.
These are then included from the main td-agent.conf configuration file.
With a large number of hosts, this can take a long time to template.

Benchmarking of templating is available at [1].

This change switches to a single fluentd configuration file, with the
include done locally. For the default template files included with Kolla
Ansible we use Jinja includes, but this does not work with templates in
a different directory. We therefore use the Ansible template lookup
plugin, which has a slightly higher overhead than a jinja include, but
far lower than generating multiple templates. This should drastically
improve the performance of this task.
