Elastic libbeat puppet module

WARNING

This module is still very experimental. Most things work most of the time, mostly. Some protocols and settings are still missing. Minimally tested on Debian-flavour systems. No RedHat/CentOS support yet

Example Use

include ::beats
include ::beats::topbeat
include ::beats::filebeat

"beats::filebeat::prospectors": {
  "syslog": {
    "fields": {
      "type": "syslog"
    },
    "paths": [
      "/var/log/syslog"
    ]
  }
},
"beats::outputs_deep_merge": true,
"beats::outputs_logstash": {
  "filebeat": {
    "hosts": [
      "localhost:5044"
    ]
  },
  "topbeat": {
    "hosts": [
      "localhost:5044"
    ]
  }
}

The ES output should work, but I've not tested it yet. Some digging around inside the module will be necessary to make bits work.
