Cherry-pick of PR #20450 to 7.x branch. Original message:
What does this PR do?
This PR adds a check before opening a file for harvester Filebeat. If the file is a named pipe, an error is returned and the file is not opened.
Why is it important?
Previously if someone wanted to open a named pipe without a writer, Filebeat hangs.
