Include plugin gem name and version in the "User-Agent" header when uploading logs.

Improve handling of records cannot fit within the configured max_request_buffer. Single large records will now have the message field truncated to fit within a request if possible, and dropped otherwise.

Updates to automated release deployment to have latest tag in dockerhub updated correctly.

Add a new configuration option parser for setting a per-event "parser" field without having to use filters. This is intended to be used in cases where configuring a filter is more difficult, such as Fargate.

Update the plugin so we ignore any unicode deserialization related errors which may arise serializing events to JSON in case event attribute string value contains bad or partial unicode escape sequence.

Previously, in cases like that, the plugin would throw an exception and such event would not be processed.

Now in cases like this, we recursively sanitize the event values and strip out any bad or partial unicode escape sequences.

Change default value of ssl_ca_bundle_path to nil, causing the plugin to default to system certs.
Publish a Docker image of fluentd with this plugin installed to the tag scalyr/fluentd.

Add support for fluentd multiple process workers feature which allows users to configure fluentd to launch multiple fluentd workers to utilize multiple CPUs. This comes handy under heavy traffic scenarios where you want to split the load across multiple worker processes. (#14)
Remove the monotonically increasing timestamp requirement which is not required by the server anymore. This allowed us to get rid of cross-thread synchronization which should simplify things. (#15)
