Send logs to DataDog with Go's log.Logger

dietdog, a bare-bones DataDog logger

Stream logs from the standard library log.Logger to DataDog logs API.

Why?

I wanted to send logs of an existing Go program to the DataDog, but the official DataDog Go client is enormous, over 9 Mb of source code:

$ tar tvzf datadog-api-client-go-1.14.0.tar.gz | \
    awk '$NF~/\.go$/&&$NF!~/_test\.go$/{s+=$5}END{print s}'
9646862

Yes, I know about the datadog-agent. It requires more resources than the service that emits logs.
