Ohh Three Oooohaooo

New Feature:

Journal Entry Mutation (#36)

Thanks to the hard work of @emacski the plugin now has support for arbitrary mappings from systemd field names to your own. @emacski's work also supports stripping the leading underscore from all fields and lowercasing all fields. This functionality can also be used as a filter plugin so allows a great deal of flexibility.

Enhancement

Backoff On Buffer Backpressure (#38)

Previously if a fluentd output buffer was full this plugin would continue to read records from the journal, but drop them without them being written to the output buffer. Thanks to @richm for his report of this issue #37. This enhancement addresses this shortcoming, by pausing reading from the journal temporarily to allow the output buffer to clear. This is still not fail safe, as records will still be dropped after a number of retries. So I am happy to take further feedback about the most desireable behaviour in this case...
