alpine:3.4 only contains a docker image for arm64, so building for other
architectures doesn't work. The newest alpine relases, 3.9, is therefore
better.

When starting up, start all dependencies first then start the target
module.  When stopping, reverse the order to ensure we dont try and
stop a module while there is still something running that needs it.

tail all container log files

kubelet creates a new log file when a container is restarted.
So we need to catpure all log files in the
`/var/logs/pods/<uid>/<container_name>/` dir.

* handle symbolic links correctly

When tailing a file that is rotated we expect that a fsnotify.Rename
event will be sent when the old file is renamed and a fsnotif.Create
event will be sent when the replacement file is created. This allows
us to close and re-open the file.  However if the file we are
tailing is a symbolic link (and the target is in another directory)
we wont get these events.  To address this we need to tail the target
file directly.

fixes #274

* handle symlinks being re-linked

When a symbolic link is re-linked we will only get a fsnotify.Create
event. No rename or delete event will have been sent to trigger
the tailer to be stoped.  When this happens we should stop the current
tailer for the path and start a new one. This will allow us to perform
a new Readink on the path to get the updated target filename.
