Mahmood Ali 962921f86c Use init to handle plugin invocation
Currently, nomad "plugin" processes (e.g. executor, logmon, docker_logger) are started as CLI
commands to be handled by command CLI framework.  Plugin launchers use
`discover.NomadBinary()` to identify the binary and start it.

This has few downsides: The trivial one is that when running tests, one
must re-compile the nomad binary as the tests need to invoke the nomad
executable to start plugin.  This is frequently overlooked, resulting in
puzzlement.

The more significant issue with `executor` in particular is in relation
to external driver:

* Plugin must identify the path of invoking nomad binary, which is not
trivial; `discvoer.NomadBinary()` now returns the path to the plugin
rather than to nomad, preventing external drivers from launching
executors.

* The external driver may get a different version of executor than it
expects (specially if we make a binary incompatible change in future).

This commit addresses both downside by having the plugin invocation
handling through an `init()` call, similar to how libcontainer init
handler is done in [1] and recommened by libcontainer [2].  `init()`
will be invoked and handled properly in tests and external drivers.

For external drivers, this change will cause external drivers to launch
the executor that's compiled against.

There a are a couple of downsides to this approach:
* These specific packages (i.e executor, logmon, and dockerlog) need to
be careful in use of `init()`, package initializers.  Must avoid having
command execution rely on any other init in the package.  I prefixed
files with `z_` (golang processes files in lexical order), but ensured
we don't depend on order.
* The command handling is spread in multiple packages making it a bit
less obvious how plugin starts are handled.
