Plugin Output Standardization (was JMX plugin thread)

[kyle.odonnell at gmail.com]

My $0.02:

plug-in output isn't completely arbitrary if you plan on processing
performance data.

considering that a single defined command can be turned into multiple
services (assuming you use $ARG$ variables) I don't think printing the
servicename would be helpful.  The servicename is already available in
both the web and notification output too.
