Add packaging information

[exhuma]

It would be convenient to have packaging information in this project. This would make it possible to publish it on pypi, and consequently make it easier to install.

I have a fair amount of experience in this and would be willing to add a PR. Let me know if you'd be interested in working on a PR.

I could also provide a github-actions based pipeline which could automatically publish (see https://github.com/exhuma/x690/actions/runs/927851913 for an example what this would look like).

Packaging meta-data and GitHub actions could be two separate PRs or one, whichever you prefer.

Thanks for your interest.

I think packaging + README update for usage instructions in one PR, and github actions in a separate PR.

Alright then. I will also move things into a package and add a real console entry-point for it.

In my experience this is going to be beneficial down the road. Especially if there's a need to further split the project into more modules. Having a package-structure gives more freedom, without impacting the way users will see the script.

Except with this first change by adding the entry-point.

I will do aggressive changes on this (with that I mean I will introduce some backwards-incompatibility). Once the PR is in, let me know what you think.

[exhuma]

Let me know if you have any feedback. I'll wait until this is merged until I'll tackle the github-actions.

@exhuma, what are your thoughts on a better name for this project to upload on pypi?

Looking at this,

I'm thinking telegraf-pgcustom or telegraf-pgquery.

[exhuma]

I think both are fine actually.
