Changed logic to allow recording of device fields without having to set attributes flag to true. With attributes set to false, if the metric is classified as an attribute it is not recorded. This occurs even is the metric is not a vendor attribute. Left it like this to keep the system compatible with users who are expecting the current structure. Validated with 'go test' and by building telegraf and monitoring inputs into local influxdb.
