Issue when writing a tag value ending in a back slash

[metal-hed]

This is related to influxdata/influxdb#5231 seems when a tag value ends in a \ , influx rejects the insert statement. I have seen other clients work around this by adding a space to the end of the tag value such as the python client

influxdata/influxdb-python@051da0c

is this something that can be done in this plugin as well?

Sure, the serialization happens in lib/influxdb/point_value.rb. If you want to give it a go, I'll merge your PR.

(Otherwise I need to find time to do this myself, and that's currently a scarce resource).

I can give it a go, will open a PR in the next few days.

I've found some time and fixed it (after wrestling with travis and bundler...) :-)

Will release a new version soon.

Wow amazing! I was going to take a look this afternoon but this is great

Thanks!
