Unfortunately, this is going to cause licensing issues: Many parts of
collectd are licenses under the GPL version 2, which is not compatible
to GPL version 3.

Macros are better suited for this kind of prefix implementation, because
you don't need a separate buffer / call to vsnprintf(). E.g.:

  #define SR_INFO(...) INFO ("sigrok plugin: " __VA_ARGS__)

Please use parse_log_severity() from src/plugin.h to parse a string into
a log severity.

Please pass in NULL for the interval. The user can then configure the
interval used, e.g.:

  <LoadPlugin sigrok>
    Interval 42.0
  </LoadPlugin>
