Cherry-pick of PR #5321 to 6.0 branch. Original message:
This deprecates the config_dir option in Filebeat, as it's functionality is
covered by
filebeat.config.prospectors
. There's a bigger refactoring in thedocs, to reflect that the
filebeat.config.*
andmetricbeat.config.*
optionscan be used for both including external files and live reloading. Only the
live reloading part stays in Beta, including external config files is GA.
Part of #4581.
