The canonical graphite implementation will read and discard NaN values
instead of throwing an error when reading on the line receiver protocol.
Since this is the default behavior for graphite, InfluxDB should have
the same behavior for compatibility.
Previously, a NaN value would result in an error printed to the console.
When you have a large number of NaN values being sent every minute, this
results in the log file filling with useless messages.
Float values are not supported in the existing engine and the tsm1
engines. This changes NewPoint to return an error if a field value
contains a NaN field. It also allows us to validate fields to prevent
other unsupported types from sneaking in through other input plugins.
Through profiling of writes, point.Fields() and point.Name() were called
repeatedly in PointsWriter and the Shard. These calls are somewhat expensive
when writing large batches so we can cache them to avoid wasting CPU cycles.
