Having the defaults in code instead of the libbeat fields.yml will allow to reuse the same script also for fields.yml files from a metricbeat module for example without having to merge in the libbeat file. This is a prerequisite for dynamic index template generation in Golang which can be only for a module.
The top level
fields
entry was removed as without the defaults, it is not needed anymore.All scripts were adjusted for the new format.
