Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Fixes fluent/fluent-package-builder#611

What this PR does / why we need it:

This is just a PoC PR.

Before:

If you launch multiple Fluentd instance with same
configuration file, it causes a disaster with inconsistency
processed buffer or pos file.

After:

Detect fluentd service's main process and fetch FLUENT_CONF.
if configuration is same as spawned process, abort it.

It can block the following conditions are met:

  • fluentd is launched via systemd (fluent-package) configuration file is specified via FLUENT_CONF.
  • manually try to launch fluentd with same configuration file as fluentd user with -c option.

Thus running fluentd service and manually try to launch normal
user case can't be detected.

NOTE: Windows is out of scope in this PR.

Reconsider, it is not appropriate to introduce package specific fix to fluentd internals. 🤔
