Introduced Shannon entropy calculation into the fingerprint mechanism, answering the question of how much entropy our payloads have in them. My pitch is that we should never decrease entropy but that might be naive. At least now we'll know which direction things move in. Also added fingerprints for syslog and splunk_hek. Add CI to our micro-benchmark suite to make sure it doesn't accumulate compilation errors as lading's internal API changes.
