Add yaml templates - remove dependency on toml gem

[bastelfreak]

hi @zoojar , thanks for the PR! Do you have some links to the telegraf docs that mention the yaml format? I didn't know that's supported and I didn't find it in the docs.

@bastelfreak, no worries! I can't see anywhere where telegraf supports yaml. BUT, this is to remove the dependency on the toml gem - the templates are only used as hashes to pass to the telegraf input defined type!

By offering an option of toml or yaml, allows users to still copy and paste in toml for their templates if they want to. But if you want to avoid having to install the toml-rb gem then you can just use yaml for the input data.

@zoojar i had to pin a gem, you probably need to rebase to suck it in
