Beats: [Filebeat] Add the ability to specify a custom path for autodiscover

[feelan03]

Autodiscover cannot import configuration from another directory as inputs. It would be great if it became possible.

Just to clarify, what you're looking for is something like filebeat.config.autodiscover, similar to filebeat.config.inputs?

Yes, so that you can specify a custom directory for filebeat.config.autodiscover. Here's an example:
filebeat.config.autodiscover: enabled: true path: autodiscover.d/*.yml
