This implements the unique process identification field discussed in #672. We settled on allowing ECS users to use their own implementation-specific values in this field in order to support multiple types of data shippers that may have different requirements around the identifier generation. That said, there's still room for future discussion on some sort of standard generation algorithm that would allow us to correlate processes across multiple sources.
The name corresponds to what beats are already filling in for their unique identifier.
