inotify event is trigged immediately there's data written to disk.
But at the time that the inotify event is received, the json line might
not fully saved to disk. If the json decoder tries to decode in such
case, an io.UnexpectedEOF will be trigged.
We used to retry for several times to mitigate the io.UnexpectedEOF error.
But there are still flaky tests caused by the partial log entries.
The daemon knows exactly when there are new log entries emitted. We can
use the pubsub package to notify all the log readers instead of inotify.

- Move time json marshaling to the jsonlog package: this is a docker
internal hack that we should not promote as a library.
- Move Timestamp encoding/decoding functions to the API types: This is
only used there. It could be a standalone library but I don't this
it's worth having a separated repo for this. It could introduce more
complexity than it solves.

The json decoder starts to decode immediately an inotify event is
received.
But at the time the inotify event is trigged, the json log
entry might haven't been fully written to the disk.
In this case the decoder will return an "io.UnexpectedEOF" error, but
there is still data remaining in the decoder's buffer. And the data
should be passed to the decoder when the next inotify event is
triggered.

this allows jsonfile logger to collect extra metadata from containers with
`--log-opt labels=label1,label2 --log-opt env=env1,env2`.
Extra attributes are saved into `attrs` attributes for each log data.

After tailing a file, if the number of lines requested is > the number
of lines in the file, this would cause a json unmarshalling error to
occur when we later try to go follow the file.
So brute force set it to the end if any tailing occurred.
There is potential that there could be some missing log messages if logs
are being written very quickly, however I was not able to make this
happen even with `while true; do echo hello; done`, so this is probably
acceptable.
While testing this I also found a panic in LogWatcher.Close can be
called twice due to a race. Fix channel close to only close when there
has been no signal to the channel.

- downcase and privatize exported variables that were unused
- make accurate an error message
- added package comments
- remove unused var ReadLogsNotSupported
- enable linter
- some spelling corrections

- noplog driver pkg for '--log-driver=none' (null object pattern)
- centralized factory for log drivers (instead of case/switch)
- logging drivers registers themselves to factory upon import
(easy plug/unplug of drivers in daemon/logdrivers.go)
- daemon now doesn't start with an invalid log driver
- Name() method of loggers is actually now their cli names (made it useful)
- generalized Read() logic, made it unsupported except json-file (preserves
existing behavior)
Spotted some duplication code around processing of legacy json-file
format, didn't touch that and refactored in both places.
