Support for OpenMetrics standard #9547

Description

Feature Request

Telegraf supports Prometheus format, which was used as the basis for the OpenMetrics standard. However, there are some differences. Most importantly from my point of view, Dovecot v2.3.14+ uses the "info" type, which Telegraf treats as invalid. It would be nice if Telegraf would add support for this to make it more OpenMetrics standard compliant. (This can't be fixed on Dovecot side without making it violate the OpenMetrics standard, or adding a new configuration option to choose the behavior.)
