Converg the logstash pipelines and enhance memory backed queues
The multi-logstash pipeline setup, while amazingly fast, was crashing
and causing index errors when under high load for a long period of time.
Because of the crashing behavior and the fact that the folks from
Elastic describe multi-pipeline queues to be "beta" at this time the
logstash pipelines have been converted back into a single pipeline.

The memory backed queue options are now limited by a ram disk (tmpfs)
which will ensure that a burst within the queue does not cause OOM
issues and ensures a highly performant deployment and limiting memory
usage at the same time. Memory backed queues will be enabled when the
underlying system is using "rotational" media as detected by ansible
facts. This will ensure a fast and consistent experience across all
deployment types.

Pipeline/ml/template/dashboard setup has been added to the beat
configurations which will ensure beats are properly configured even
when running in an isolated deployment and outside of normal operations
where beats are generally configured on the first data node.
