Title: Packaging

Simplified agent packaging. The details:

- we'll only ever install one datadog package per machine. as usual, `datadog-agent` is the fancy supervised version, `datadog-agent-base` is the one with just the collector and dogstats. except now they have no other datadog dependencies.
- after upgrading to the new stuff, users can do `apt-get autoremove` or `apt-get remove datadog-agent-lib datadog-agent-deb` to clean out the old stuff.
- we share the overlapping code across packages in the makefile rather than in system packages.
- windows, source installs are unchanged.

This is a pretty big change. It works on staging and my vm's, but if anyone else wants to give it a whirl that'd be great.

@alq @conorbranagan maybe give 'er a read?
