InfluxDB plugin: remove 'IF NOT EXISTS' from 'CREATE DATABASE'

[alexzorin]

InfluxDB > 0.13 will no longer parse 'IF NOT EXISTS' (and is currently ignoring it) - (influxdata/influxdb#5707).

This affects the Telegraf InfluxDB plugin (

telegraf/plugins/outputs/influxdb/influxdb.go

Line 150 in 204ebf6

Command: fmt.Sprintf("CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS \"%s\"", database),

). Making this change, behavior will remain the same for InfluxDB 0.10 and newer, not sure about older.

Closing, the IF NOT EXISTS part is no longer in the current influxdb output.
