This is a request to have tooling around fields.yml modified to make it easier to use.

  • Do not depend on libbeat/fields.yml. Instead, always directly use libbeat/_meta/fields.common.yml and libbeat/processors/**/fields.yml when building a Beat's fields.yml. This greatly simplifies the build logic and reduces the possibilities of a race condition during concurrent builds. It also stops the build from generated new files inside of the vendor directory for community beats.
  • Do not write intermediary files to disk such as _meta/fields.generated.yml. Only produce fields.yml.

Relates to #7670.

What I have in mind long term is that all of these end up in fields.go files. The final fields.yml will be built by exporting it from the binary if still needed. Metricbeat now already goes into this direction but more work is needed.

Simplify fields.yml generator (#7713)
5797005 
This PR simplifies the process of generating a new `fields.yml` file for a Beat.
* `libbeat/fields.yml` is not a dependency anymore
* only `fields.yml` is written to disk

Changes in the asset files are due to different number of newlines in generated `fields.yml` files.

### Interface changes of generator tools
Both `dev-tools/cmd/asset/asset.go` and `libbeat/scripts/cmd/global_fields/main.go` is changed. The first one has two new flags: `-in`, and `-out`. By default it reads from stdin and writes to stdout. Using the flags it's possible to read and write from other files. The second one has one new flag `-out` which specifies the output file. If it's not set, the output is written to stdout.

This makes it possible to generate asset files for Metricbeat without writing `libbeat/fields.yml` to disk. It will be useful in the future when more Beats have modular assets.
