Summary
Migrates to nFPM over FPM for building telegraf debs and rpms.
FPM, while a great tool, has some limitations, and also introduces a ruby dependency for building. nFPM is packaged as part of goreleaser, and is a pure go solution to building these files.
Things remaining:
Following the above, I have another set of fixes for #7770, which will include a lintian-overrides file as well as some fixes for the install and remove scripts which I have prepared already but want to do as a separate PR.
