    * Adds support for InfluxDB Enterprise
    
    Follows the newly introduced pattern of StatefulSets for pods, extending InfluxDB's
    sts and allowing parameter for it's ReplicaSet, and adds a new sts for InfluxDB
    "meta nodes" which hold distribution state for InfluxDB's high availability and
    horizontal scaling.
    
    Documentation for these new features has been added, but I can not stress enough
    how important it is to follow, as Enterprise not only uses different container
    images for meta containers, but also expects new container images for InfluxDB
    (appropriately labeled `data` in Docker Hub) which in my experience was easy to
    miss if a user is following one set of [instructions](https://docs.influxdata.com/enterprise_influxdb/v1.7/install-and-deploy/production_installation/data_node_installation/) over [another](https://hub.docker.com/_/influxdb).
    
    A caveat of trade off of deploying Enterprise is an expectation of human
    interaction when creating or scaling the cluster (`influxd-ctl` usage). This
    makes Enterprise decidedly not "cloud native", but is less obnoxious when using
    a StatefulSet with PVCs, and no pod auto-scaling, of which I suppose is unlikely
    given InfluxData's approach to licensing.
    
    Still forcing k8s operator involvement feels "bad", and I left in provisions to
    improve this expectation in a later version, namely a headless service and using
    `publishNotReadyAddresses`, such that a pod can use the Service to find
    available `influxdb-meta` and `influxdb` pods to create/join an InfluxDB
    cluster.

    * Hard code headless service for metadata
    
    Metadata service is a StatefulSet, so it doesn't make sense to let users
    to set the k8s service to anything but ClusterIP::None. This is true for
    the StatefulSet for InfluxDB data pods, but that will be fixed in a
    subsequent PR. When that happens, the Enterprise section of README.md
    should be updated to remove references to ClusterIP::None.
