This adds a dynamic mapping to all our template files to set strings to be
keywords by default.

Previously we were using the default of text and only switching to keyword
when configured in fields.yml. This reverses the logic and sets mappings to
text only when requested in fields.yml.

The goal is to make upgrading the mapping template less painful. In the Beats
we have so far, unexpected fields are better of as keywords.

I tested the change with ES 5.0, I'm the process of testing with ES 2.4.

Nice that you gave it a name. Makes it much more readable.

Yeah, it used to be the name of the dict/list field name. Now if everything is a keyword by default, the template also gets shorter, because we don't have dicts or lists of type text.

LGTM. This is a great addition to the #2627, in order to have a better upgrading support.

Tested with ES 2.4, seems to be working OK.

Added a Changelog entry. This could go in when green from my point of view.
