Changes the `system/package` dataset to select the package manager based on which package directories exist: `/var/lib/dpkg`, `/var/lib/rpm`, or `/usr/local/Cellar`. If we find no directories, we log a warning once and continue checking. We do not abort Auditbeat's launch. (cherry picked from commit afbe070)

Users have recently struggled with using Auditbeat on distros the
system/packagedataset does not recognize. When this happens, Auditbeat aborts the start with a not very helpful error message.This PR fixes this by changing the behavior:
/var/lib/dpkg,/var/lib/rpm, or/usr/local/Cellar. In the future, we could make these configurable.Possible future improvements:
package.type(naming tbd) to distinguish between rpm, deb, and homebrew packages.This is a bigger change, but I'd want to backport it as a bugfix since the current behavior is causing frustration to users. The system module is still in beta, giving us more freedom in what we backport.
