The logs for Beats that are running as Windows services are currently written to `C:\Program Files\[beatname]\logs` (or the extract path which is `path.home`). Our Getting Started guides say that the logs go to `C:\ProgramData\[beatname]\Logs`. This PR sets `path.log` for the Windows service to `C:\ProgramData\[beatname]\logs`. See elastic#4764
