Parses Kafka Consumer Lag metrics exposed via burrow and converts them to a set of InfluxDB Line protocol metrics.

This code was written based on kafka_jolokia_reporter.py (https://github.com/paksu/kafka-jolokia-telegraf-collector)

Currently supports at least Kafka 0.10.2 and Burrow (https://github.com/linkedin/Burrow 2017-03-07 commit)
