project-management-only/home-tv-station#6: Write Play History into Timeseries database

Description

Although #4 introduced now_playing.txt, I can well believe that I might occasionally forget to check until after something's finished playing (and so the file's rotated).

I'd like to add the option to write a point into InfluxDB whenever we play something, that way there'll be a history which can be looked at

The image is now able to write playback history into InfluxDB whenever an episode starts (and ends).

This is off by default, but can be configured by setting the relevant environment variables, for example

-e INFLUXDB_URL="http://192.168.1.5:8086" \
-e INFLUXDB_BUCKET="mytv" \
-e INFLUXDB_TOKEN="aaaaffff=="

The writes use the v2 API by default.

It will still work for people who are still rocking 1.x - to authenticate with the compatability API (assuming auth is enabled) simply set the token using the format username:password.

The default measurement is tv_station however you can override this using env var INFLUXDB_MEASUREMENT.
