[Request] Any way to set the permissions for the registry file.

refs : https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filebeat-registry-permissions/113850

We want to change permission to registry files.

Usecase:
I want to monitor filebeat process by datadog agent.
Datadog Agent use registry file when monitor.
Datadog Agent runs with dd-agent user. so registry file can't read.
I want change permission 600 to 644.

refs : https://github.com/DataDog/integrations-extras/blob/master/filebeat/check.py#L35

For confirmed bugs, please report:

• Version: filebeat version 5.3.1 (amd64), libbeat 5.3.1
• Operating System: CentOS release 6.8 (Final)

thank you.
