Since 7.0 we add the `-e` flag to all beats from the systemd unit file. This make them to log to stderr on systems with systemd, what is the recommended behaviour on these systems, so local logs are managed by journald. This creates some confusion as the added flags make beats ignore other output settings added to the configuration files. Add a new warning in the logging configuration page about this. (cherry picked from commit a6cd5e8)
