Logstashbeat

There is another logstashbeat which was developed in parallel without any knowledge of each other. I worked on this one for personal purposes. I do not want to compete but I don't want to delete it as well. :)

Note: This is development version

Note: Beat works only with Logstash 5.0aplha4
