New azure_data_lake_gen2 output. (@ooesili)

The elasticsearch output now performs retries for HTTP status code 429 (Too Many Requests). (@kahoowkh)
The docs for the collection field of the mongodb output now specify support for interpolation functions. (@mihaitodor)

All components with a default path field value (such as the aws_s3 output) containing the deprecated function count have now been changed to use the new function counter. This could potentially change behaviour in cases where multiple components are executing a mapping with a count function sharing the same of the old default count, and these counters need to cascade. This is an extremely unlikely scenario, but for all users of these components it is recommended that your path is defined explicitly, and in a future major version we will be removing the defaults.
