It launches Fluentd with Input plugins only.
Here is the specification.

* Those Input plugins emits the events to SourceOnlyBufferAgent.
* The events is kept in the buf_file during the source-only-mode.
* SIGRTMIN(34) cancels the mode.
* After canceled, the new agent starts to load the buffer.

The basic implementation is done.
Some concept of #4654 is reflected. Thanks @Watson1978!

Add a new feature: Update/Reload without downtime.

1. The supervisor receives SIGUSR2.
2. Spawn a new supervisor.
3. Take over shared sockets.
4. Launch new workers, and stop old processes in parallel.
   * Launch new workers with source-only mode
     * Limit to restart_without_downtime_ready? input plugin
   * Send SIGTERM to the old supervisor after 10s delay from 3.
5. The old supervisor stops and sends SIGRTMIN(34) to the new one.
6. The new workers run fully.

Problem to solve:

Updating Fluentd or reloading a config causes downtime.
Plugins that receive data as a server, such as `in_udp`, `in_tcp`,
and `in_syslog`, cannot receive data during this time.
This means that the data sent by a client is lost during this
time unless the client has a re-sending feature.
This makes updating Fluentd or reloading a config difficult in
some cases.

Note: need these feature

* #4661
* treasure-data/serverengine#146
