Feature Request

@rogpeppe has written a new Influx Line Protocol Parser that is more semantically correct and significantly faster, supporting zero-allocation parsing. We should upgrade to it.

Updated parser can be found here https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/influxdata/line-protocol/v2/influxdata

Proposal:

upgrade to the faster parser

Current behavior:

Current parser does unnecessary memory allocations, causing a performance hit compared to the new parser.

Desired behavior:

Upgrade to the new parser

Use case:

memory allocations are expensive and slow. No need to do unnecessary ones.
