Add support for flux

[diogovieira]

As far as I can tell, there's no support at all for flux queries in the the currently stable go client. Since it's a feature of the 1.7 stable version of InfluxDB, it's a major disappointment when I first learned of this. The only implementation of a go client that supports flux seems to be the new go client which isn't close to stable.

@diogovieira How exactly are you currently running flux queries in InfluxDB 1.7.x using golang? I'm guessing we won't be able to use the v2 golang client ( https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-go ) for InfluxDB 1.7.x .

@prashanthjbabu I'm not. I ended up using InfluxQL. AFAICT using v2 for InfluxDB 1.7 or 1.8 is impossible since only InfluxDB 2 is supported. We're stuck with (what I'm assuming is) a deprecated library for a deprecated database.

If you really want to use golang and make flux queries to InfluxDB 1.7 or 1.8 you can always make you own library or make your request manually since the server does support it.
