The crawler creates active inputs for static configuration, starts config file reloading, and starts the module loader. With this change the crawler has no direct dependency (well, reduced) on input.Input anymore, but will use the `Runner` interface, even for statically configured inputs. This also reduces dependencies, as most plumbing is already done by the inputs.RunnerFactory and must not be duplicated by the crawler anymore. The input.Runner used to compute a 'ID' by hashing the inputs configuration. The ID was public, to be used by the crawler only. Instead of having the input compute the ID, it is the crawler who will compute the input ID now. Note: the cfgfile RunnerList maintains its own set of IDs. The crawler and RunnerList each used to use the ID to check for 'duplicate' configurations, but because the IDs are not 'shred' duplication detection is not across the Beat. ID detection is actively used by input config file reloading and auto discvovery only, in order to check if an input still needs to be running, are shall shut down.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
input.New returns a partially initialized type. The once flag must only be set for static inputs, but the factory is used for static and dynamic inputs. As I expect the crawler to go away in the future I wanted keep the scope rather small for what I need for the integration of the new input API, I still keep this small piece of tech debt here for now.

What does this PR do?
The crawler creates active inputs for static configuration, starts
config file reloading, and starts the module loader.
With this change the crawler has no direct dependency (well, reduced) on
input.Input anymore, but will use the
Runnerinterface, even forstatically configured inputs.
This also reduces dependencies, as most plumbing is already done by the
inputs.RunnerFactory and must not be duplicated by the crawler anymore.
The input.Runner used to compute a 'ID' by hashing the inputs
configuration. The ID was public, to be used by the crawler only.
Instead of having the input compute the ID, it is the crawler who will
compute the input ID now.
While reducing dependencies, I replaced
logp.Infocalls with an internallogp.Loggerinstance for logging purposes.Note: the cfgfile RunnerList maintains its own set of IDs. The crawler
and RunnerList each used to use the ID to check for 'duplicate'
configurations, but because the IDs are not 'shred' duplication
detection is not across the Beat.
ID detection is actively used by input config file reloading and auto
discvovery only, in order to check if an input still needs to be
running, are shall shut down.
Why is it important?
Reduce dependencies and responsibilities in the crawler, while centering input configuration and running more around the RunnerFactory and Runner interfaces only. This changes makes it easier to integrate with alternative RunnerFactory implementations in the future.
