Fluentd / FluentBit out_forward compat

[MerlinDMC]

This does add compatibility with later Fluentd and FluentBit out_forward encodings.
Both out_forward streams are sending combined packets that bundle up multiple events for a single tag.

This currently does not add support for compressed streams. It will raise a failure and log it in the event stream.

This should also fix #4 and #2

Any chance that this will get merged?

Could this be released as a gem? I bit the same error and the only solution I found was to use copy the file in master to the logstash container.

It seems that logstash is always using the latest version (I couldn't find a Gemfile.lock): https://github.com/elastic/logstash/blob/master/Gemfile#L36

In case you couldn't release, what would be the way to move this from my test environment to production? Override the gem in logstash with the master of this repo?

Thanks!
